Ok here goes - this is the index.php in the theme editor. paste the php marked [HERE] in the same place as I have in the WP loop to get the sdsense below the first post only. the blog in question is Angling

There are only 2 pices of script.

<?php get_header(); ?>


	<div id="content" class="narrowcolumn">

	<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
		[HERE]<?php $showAdSense = True; ?>[HERE]
		<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
				
			<div class="post" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
				<h2><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>
				<small><?php the_time('F jS, Y') ?> <!-- by <?php the_author() ?> --></small>
				
				<div class="entry">
					<?php the_content('Read the rest of this entry &raquo;'); ?>
				</div>
		
				<p class="postmetadata">Posted in <?php the_category(', ') ?> | <?php edit_post_link('Edit', '', ' | '); ?>  <?php comments_popup_link('No Comments »', '1 Comment »', '% Comments »'); ?></p>
			</div>
	[HERE]<?php If ($showAdSense) { ?> <h2>Fishing and Angling</h2><br><script type="text/javascript"><!--
google_ad_client = "pub-XXXXXXXXXXXXXX";
google_ad_width = 336;
google_ad_height = 280;
google_ad_format = "336x280_as";
google_ad_type = "text";
google_ad_channel = "";
google_color_border = "FFFFFF";
google_color_bg = "FFFFFF";
google_color_link = "3D81EE";
google_color_text = "000000";
google_color_url = "000000";
//--></script>
<script type="text/javascript"
  src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js">
</script> <?php $showAdSense = False;} ?>[HERE]
		<?php endwhile; ?>

		<div class="navigation">
			<div class="alignleft"><?php next_posts_link('&laquo; Previous Entries') ?></div>
			<div class="alignright"><?php previous_posts_link('Next Entries &raquo;') ?></div>
		</div>
		
	<?php else : ?>

		<h2 class="center">Not Found</h2>
		<p class="center">Sorry, but you are looking for something that isn't here.</p>
		<?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . "/searchform.php"); ?>

	<?php endif; ?>
<table width="450" height="220" border="1" cellspacing="0" bordercolor="#EEEEEE"><tr bordercolor="#999999" bgcolor="#BFD2C8"><td height="15" colspan="3" nowrap class="largertext"><div align="center"><strong><font color="#004000" size="2" face="Tahoma, Arial">More <a href="http://www.tacklebargains.co.uk/discount_fishing_tackle.htm"><font color="#004000">Discount Fishing Tackle</font></a> Offers from <a href="http://www.tacklebargains.co.uk" target="external"><font color="#004000">Tacklebargains</font></a></font></strong></div></td></tr><tr><td width="33%" height="205"><div align="center"><script src="http://www.tacklebargains.co.uk/randomimage.js"></script><script>SetAffiliate("428767");this.document.write(TextList[NumArray[0]]);</script></div></td><td height="205" width="33%"><div align="center"><script>this.document.write(TextList[NumArray[1]] );</script></div></td><td width="33%" height="205"><div align="center"><script>this.document.write(TextList[NumArray[2]]);</script></div></td></tr></table>
	</div>

<?php get_sidebar(); ?>

<?php get_footer(); ?>

Thanks Jim bob for the script!

I was looking for something simple like this, and my PHP skills are non-existent

Although I changed the H2 hearer to "Sponsored Links" for now because having it as a post heading title like yours (Fishing and Angling) might be against the G-TOS.

Thanks again!

 

you can always use a plugin for this - Adsense Deluxe

 

I will have a look at the plugin. I have tried a couple of adsense plugins and they have been problematic.

How easy is Adsense delux?

This worked for me, and it's simple:

There's a few plugins. I like that though.
