    You will notice an empty space to the right my advertisement at the top of my page. How can I add a search bar or RSS subscription box to that area?

    WordPress 3.1
    Theme 2010 Weaver 1.5.4 with 8 Widgets

    Thank you for any help on this. I have been searching and scratching my brain with this for a while.

  • That box is a iframe for google ads. You must be missing some of the code. It is most likely in a text widget in your sidebar – check the dashboard. If so you can substitute other ad copy in its place.

    The code is complete. I placed the banner ad in my header widget area using a plug-in called “Advertising Manager”. The plug-in turns adword advertisements into widgets.

    I have not edited any code with my blog. I am guessing that I will need to edit the code to add content to that area.

    This is the look I am after.

    I figuered something was wrong with the code as no ad appeared.

    Turn that plug in off and put a text widget in the space. Then you can enter code for any other ad you want. For RSS or a seach widget pull one of those from the dashboard, wigets over to the sidebar. Once you do the other meta data will be turned off.

    I underestimated the power of the TEXT widget. I feel I am on the right track.

    I added a temporary image of what I might use in that empty space. I can not get the image to go beside the Ad-Sense ad. It goes underneath.

    Any advice?

    You need most likely to turn the Advertising Manager plug in off. Place the text widget, add html code, save and close the widget.

    Oops, beside? Not replace? You won’t be able to put wigets side by side in a one column side bar.

    The example site you showed is using a slider that is above text, sidebar, etc. and stretches the width of the blog.

    I don’t know what I slider is. I Googled it and went to a number of sites but they were using the term “Slider” as a short form for “Slideshow”.

    There must be some sort of HTML or CSS tage I can use to make a script and an image sit on the same line. Can I use <div to get the “log in JPG” besides the adsense script?

    My Text Widget looks like this.
    <script>
    “My Google adsense script is here I removed it”
    </script> <img src=”https://www.joshjefferies.com/blog/topmenu.jpg&#8221; width=”199″ height=”89″ />

    Looking back at the example I guess I am not sure what you are tying to accomplish. It has a google ad on the left and a photo(s) on the right.

    I want my blog to look like this.

    “Banner AD” “JPG”
    “….Header….”
    “…..menu…..”
    “column” “Column”
    “…..Footer….”

    I figured it out my self.

    All I had to do was put the Ad-Sense Script and the jpg HTML in a center tag.

    My script now reads

    <center><script
    ....this is my ad-sense script....
    </script> <img src="https://www.joshjefferies.com/blog/topmenu.jpg" width="199" height="89" /></center>

    Check out the results. https://joshjefferies.com/blog/

    Great! Looks good.
