Adding Adsense to your Blog

Blogspot now comes with adsense built in. You can add adsense by going into the template/adsense and following the steps there. However, the problem one encounters is that the option given in this adsense interface is rather limited.

For example, i wanted to have the adsense ads come out on the left hand side bar. The default of the adsense interface on blogspot was on the top portion of the screen.

Fortunately, there was ample documentation in http://help.blogger.com/bin/answer.py?answer=974 to teach me how to do it. In short, edit the template, locate #sidebar and then paste your adsense code below it. Experiment with various ad layout and colors to see which one will fit your blog.
