# Modules?

   Modules. It was available in MovableType, but I couldn’t find anything on modules
   when I switched to WordPress. What are modules? They are little snippits of codes
   used commonly on multiple pages. For example, if I want to put an ad on my website,
   in order to add new ads, I’d have to go through every page and add the ad. Here’s
   where modules come in. I create a module with the ad in it. Then I use a tag 
   such as <module=”theAd”> on every page where I want the ad. If I want to change
   the ad, all I have to do is change the module, and the module will be reflected
   on all the pages. Makes sense? If anyone knows of a feature like this that I 
   have not discovered with WordPress, please let me know at [ernest@pixelsage.com](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/modules/ernest@pixelsage.com?output_format=md).
   Thanks!

 * Actually, [it should be](http://us4.php.net/include/):
    `<?php include(filename.
   ext) ?> ` That extension is important.
