<div class=”bannerads”>
<div class=”ad_125x125″><a href=”#”><img src=”<?php bloginfo(‘template_directory’); ?>/ads/125×125.gif” border=”0″ alt=”Advertising” /></a></div>
<div class=”ad_125x125″><a href=”#”><img src=”<?php bloginfo(‘template_directory’); ?>/ads/125×125.gif” border=”0″ alt=”Advertising” /></a></div>
</div><!– bannerads –>
<br clear=”all” />

And then add the following CSS code to style.css:

.bannerads {width:270px; margin:10px auto;}
.ad_125x125 {float:left; margin:0px 5px 10px 5px; width:125px; height:125px;}

<?php

$my_query = new WP_Query(‘post_status=future&order=DESC&showposts=5’);

if ($my_query->have_posts()) {

while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post(); ?>

<li><?php the_title(); ?></li>
