Default Google AdSense In WordPress?

Hey Everyone, I am wondering if anyone can troubleshoot this with me. I am trying to put the code in for my AdSense, but apparently it has to go into the header. I have no idea how to modify that, and wanted to get some of your thoughts! Thanks!

If you are using a 'widget' theme, create a text widget and put the adsense code in there. It'll work fine.

Hey Lydia, thank you for the quick reply. I attempted to put it in a text widget, and was showing the code on the screen instead of the ad. Any thoughts?

You should have a javascript snippet provided by Google. Put that entire piece of code in the text widget by itself. Other than that I really can't help you much more, sorry. :-(

There are also several plugins that allow you to add adsense code into a WP blog...in predefined areas. Their use depends a bit on what version you are running and / or your theme.. Is the problem that the code is not functioning in the widget or that it is too wide and messing the layout up?

Can you give us a bit more info and we'll try to help.

Best

Eric

Also, I know that a lot of javascript won't work on the WP blogs hosted by WP. So not sure if you are hosting your own WP or not.

Spot on Brandon...If you are doing WP, it is worth it to host your own IMO.

Hey Eric, I appreciate all your help! I think the code just isn't working; other widgets are working within the text widgets. When I go for AdSense help through Google, it tells me to go through CSS, but I have no idea even where to begin when writing that code myself!
