To bad, everything else really looked so easy and straightforward. After looking at the document you suggested, I could not get my head around the test to use for the custom controller. Thanks anyway. I'm sure I'll be able to understand this eventually. I guess this beyond my abilities for the time being. To bad, everything else really looked so easy and straightforward.

I am assuming the custom controller has to be created in a non-production environment. I have chosen to do it in my sandbox. I have my controller code done. Since the code is so short, do I need to test it? From everything I have read testing is required. How would I go about writing a test for your controller code... and finally the big question that I can't seem to get an answer to: How do I go about making my controller code available to my production environment. I am sure I must be missing something very simple, but I can't seem to find these answers. Thanks again Steve.

Creative placement of the IFRAME could help with that growth issue, if the project is a very simple one. Another thing about IFRAME is that the containing page doesn't know anything about the contents of the IFRAME page, so if you have search capabilities on your website, it won't find these sponsors by name. With a more sophisticated implementation, you could use sites to publish the same data in XML or JSON which your website could consume and even store locally, and then you'd have much more control.

The only downside of this is that iFRAME heights are static and if your list is longer than the height, there will be a scrollbar inside your page. HTML needs a tag so the contents could be pulled and placed on your main page. Nice post.
