Let's go through the features and functions of this plugin.

Display Settings
  Show windows- This is the amount of items you wish to have displayed when the plugin is loaded.
                                 If you have ten sponsors but only want to show 5 at a time you would set this to "5".

  Banner Rotation- This setting allows the ads or sponsors to rotated. This is adds to the website by
                                  not having the same ad appear in the same place everytime someone visits your site.

Seperate Windows- Simply put this option places a line or rather a horizontal rule between the sponsors.
                                      The seperation adds a clear definition of sponsors, plus is useful when attempting
                                       to keep the page ends even.

Main
 
Shut off on expired- Just like it sounds. This will take the expired sponsor out of your rotation. Quite useful
                                      when a sponsor only want to be displayed a set number of times.

Top Sponsors
 
From here is where you can add/edit your advertisers. You can see how many times their ad was printed
to your page and how many people follow the link out. The sponsor name field holds the name of the sponsor.
The URL field is the page that the person following the ad is brought to. Impressions is the amount of times
the ad was shown on your site. The display limit is the amount of times the ad should be displayed.( if the
shut of on expired option is enabled, after the display limit is reached the ad will come out of your rotation.

This is where you enter the information about your sponsor. Things such as URL, email contact, impressions,
and limit counter are all entered here.
