-/**
- * Plugin for testing ad layout
- *
- * This plugin uses the UAPPlugin framework to output ad content. However,
- * its ad content is just paragraphs with defined background colors. It's
- * mostly useful for debugging theme layout.
- *
- * To use this plugin, set the parameter for the ad size you want to use
- * to the background you want to use. For example, to make a leaderboard
- * that's red:
- *
- *     addPlugin('BlankAd', array('leaderboard' => 'red'));
