    I picked a great looking wordpress theme but it was so difficult to insert the adsense and everything is really spaced far apart. What do you guys think?

    That is really good so far! Can you add your adsense to the middle of the page and also the bottom. You really need to have three blocs on there!

    I do have 3. One at the top, one on the right sidebar, and one on the left sidebar. The top and right are image ads from adsense. Don't those count as blocks? :)

    Thanks for the feedback. Keep the advice coming please.

    Okay it's working now...

    The ad on the top is very well blended. The one on the left side doesn't look very good, a bigger ad unit might work well. Also, make the background colour grey (not black), then remove the border. Those are just my suggestions. :D

    Thanks for the suggestion. Take a look at it now. It is seamlessly integrated I think. :D And I made it bigger on the left sidebar. That was some really good advice.

    Everyone please keep the advice coming. And don't be afraid to be critical. This is really helping me out.

    Be careful posting your adsense site. Some people would think that you're only self-promoting and will act negatively, then the possibility to attack you by clicking your ads. Just a reminder.

    Good luck

    Thanks for the pointer though I don't quite understand. Attack me by clicking my ads? To give me money? Can you please clarify. Or do you mean adwords ads? I don't do those. :)

    I really do need advice though so please, let me hear your opinions.
