AdSanity is a light ad rotator plugin for WordPress. It allows the user to create and manage ads shown on a website as well as keep statistics on views and clicks. AdSanity was born from a need to find a simple and fast ad rotating plugin. Not being able to find a plugin that fit our needs, we built our own. We use a custom post type and WordPress core functions to keep the plugin fast. We avoided adding any tables to the database helping keep the impact light.

Hi – I’m Sarah at Sw33t! I’ve always had a passion for making stuff. As a child, I’d make my own board games and gather the family to play. In school, graphic design, web design and drawing consumed me. While studying for my BFA I learned the theory and process to bring it all together and go pro.
Nowadays, my dream has come true – people pay me to make stuff! I’d love to help you with a WordPress theme design or the print/web project of your choice. And you won’t even have to drive to visit as I work best over chat, email and phone. In ten years I’ve completed more than 500 projects for a wide variety of clients in a fun, attentive and collaborative atmosphere… including WordCamp San Diego!
Please visit my website at SW33T.com to contact me. Happy Trails!
