Advertisements and Autokeen

I believe this has been addressed before, but I always have trouble finding out if there was a definitive answer.

At the moment, I've incorporated a blog into Fortune's Fools (through Blogger). Since I wanted access to the graphics we've created for the main web site, I host the blog on the comicgenesis.

The problems arise with the advertisement element. I have ftp'd the blog through to the workspace folders in order to take advantage of the advertisement keentag. The problem, of course, is that this means the updating occurs each day and I envision this being a bit of a load for the servers (and also means that updates won't show until several hours later).

Ideally, I would like to ftp to the public_html folders, but still incorporate CG's advertisement at the head of the blog and it's subsequent blog posts. Is there some code or script I can use that will bypass the need for autokeen, but still put the appropriate advertisements in place?

Thanks for any help provided.

I have no idea if you are supposed to / allowed to do this, but if you want to add a page directly to the public_html folder, you need to add the ad at the top and the 'hosted by' at the bottom.

If you just look at the source code for your normal pages (the online versions), you'll see something like:
<div class="keen_ad" style="display:inline;">

<iframe style="display:inline" src="http://forums.comicgenesis.com/tcontent.php?out=comic name here" id="ks_da" name="ks_da" allowtransparency="true" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" width="740" height="90">
<a href="http://www.burstnet.com/ads/ad8223a-map.cgi/ns" target="_top">
<img src="http://www.burstnet.com/cgi-bin/ads/ad8223a.cgi/ns" width="468" height="60" border="0" alt="Click Here" />

</a>
</iframe>
I know that you'll need to copy the comic name as it appears on your comic, and you'll need to check if the ad numbers are different for your comic. Hopefully someone more knowledgable will provide a better answer...

I'll give that a shot. I was worried that it might not be the proper method. Thanks.
