When you first create your Spot, you will see some default pages and links that are already built for you.&amp;nbsp; At the time of this writing, they are &amp;quot;Home&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;Blog&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;My Friends&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;Calendar&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;Photo Gallery&amp;quot;, and &amp;quot;Free Website&amp;quot;.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
By clicking into the &amp;quot;Manage Links&amp;quot; section of the Control Panel, you sill see that the &amp;quot;Home&amp;quot; link points to your default first page of the same name.&amp;nbsp; You can delete or rename this link you wish, since it points directly to a dynamic page.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
The other default links behave slightly differently since they are actually services rather than a specific page.&amp;nbsp; You may notice that you do not have the option to delete those links.&amp;nbsp; However, you can disable and re-enable them at your convenience. &amp;nbsp;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Please note that if you delete your &amp;quot;Friends&amp;quot; page, you will no longer be able to recieve messages on your Spot from your friends.&amp;nbsp; This *does not* affect people being able to post comments on your blog.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Another thing you can do within the link manager is reorder your links. &amp;nbsp; In the &amp;quot;Order&amp;quot; column, you can click the links for &amp;quot;up&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;down&amp;quot; to change where they will show up on your navigation bar.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;

We have just added in functionality for &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.instantspot.com&quot;&gt;InstantSpot.com&lt;/a&gt; users to monetize your (already free) website/blog through the use of Google Adsense.&amp;nbsp; Once you have logged in to your &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.instantspot.com/index.cfm/event/admin&quot;&gt;control panel&lt;/a&gt;, you will see a link to &amp;#39;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.instantspot.com/index.cfm/event/AdManager&quot;&gt;Ad Manager&lt;/a&gt; &amp;#39; in your Admin navigation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For
now, you will have the choice to run ads at the top or at the bottom of
your content section.&amp;nbsp; We will still retain the the ad space in the
right side-column.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
