Changes to the size/location of ads on free sites!
4/9/2008 We've received feedback from some of our customers regarding the recent introduction of ads on free sites.

Simply go to your staff admin page and assign staff members to team(s) affiliations. They will automatically appear as part of the teams page under the team name.
