    Hi there

    i have a blog http://www.ollysguitar.com which i have recently started - (I am new to blogging)

    I just cannot get adsense to position correctly and I am looking for a bit of guidance on what to do.

    i currently use the adsense plug in.

    Thanks a lot in advance.

    Olly

    where are you trying to get the ads to be positioned? I see your ad blocks on your page and they show up properly - you might want to work on the blending and your location though

    Thanks - I can only seem to get them in this small block of 2 ads rather than a line across.

    If I select any other options then they do not show correctly.

    What should i do to improve bledning and is there any advice on placement?

    Thanks a lot for taking the time to help

    Can I also ask is it possible to reduce posts down to snippets with a read more... option rather than displaying every full post?

    for that you'll have to open the index.php file in ur theme templates and change a code.

    ah right. Thanks. I have done this but it doesn't seem to say read more.

    in the code it has
    <?php the_excerpt('[Read more &rarr;]'); ?>
    Code (markup):
