Adding Ads to Your Blog

      Comments Off on Adding Ads to Your Blog

Ok, so I didn’t get a chance to play with the Blackberry server today but tonight I did learn how to add ads to my blog.  The first thing I did was go to Google and sign up for Google AdSense.  Then once it processed, I went through the setup process and set the look of the ads to follow the color scheme of my blog.  You can get the color scheme from Global Settings\Change How My Blog Looks.  Once I did that, Google provides the code needed to add the ad to the site.

As I’ve said before, I’m not a developer, but I know a few and I’m not afraid to use them. 🙂  I IM’d a couple and got the info to open up the theme.Master file inside web\themes\blog\paperclip.  Once I determined where I wanted the ads to be placed on my site it was a simple matter of copy and paste the code from Google into the theme.Master file and one save later, TADA, I have ads on my blog. Thanks to Ado and Ben for the pointers.
