    I have a blog I'm working on over on blogspot. After reading the instructions they have for adding Adsense to the side bar, I did that exactly as they said but if you go look: http://patternmart.blogspot.com it's WAY at the bottom right of the page. The instructions said to add it right after:

    <!-- Begin #sidebar -->
    <div id="sidebar"><div id="sidebar2">

    Which I did, and I've tried messing with the code but no luck. Can anyone tell me how to fix this so that the google sidebar ads are up at the top part of the side bar?

    Thank you,

    Kelle

    You need to put </div> before this code.

    <!-- Begin #profile-container -->
    Code (markup):

    Thank you for trying, but it didn't seem to work. http://patternmart.blogspot.com/

    I do appreciate the suggestion though. If you think of anything else I can try please let me know. This is sort of becoming one of those little frustration things...taking way too much of my time trying to figure this out LOL! I wish the blogger site would make the instructions to where they actually work. It doesn't make sense to have adsense ads way at the bottom and these are their templates.

    Apparently this looks like a common problem. In there help section they mention this with the sidebar showing up at the bottom of the page.

    But it really doesn't say how to fix it. They suspect it's caused by long links or images causing causing column expansion. I have neither. The only image I have is my header. If I can't figure this out I'll just scrap the idea because I just don't have time to keep messing with this. Uhhhg!

    Ok, thanks for letting me vent a little :)

    I played around with it and the code is pretty screwed. Do you have the original code before you put the adsense in?

    Change this 
    <div class='adsense' style='text-align:center; padding: 0px 3px 0.5em 3px;'>
    Code (markup):
    to 
    <div class='adsense' style='float: right; text-align:center; padding: 0px 3px 0.5em 3px;'>
    Code (markup):
    I think that should work.

    Thanks for trying Bob. I put that in but no luck. I think maybe I'll need to hire someone to just set this thing up for me. Or go with a template or skin that incorporates these sidebars without these headaches. Any suggestions?
