How do I add a half banner into my WordPress post?

I am running WordPress 2.0.3 and I tried to put an advertisement into my post by clicking on the HTML icon and then pasting the code in there. However, this does not work, nothing shows up. Thanks in advance.

 

Normally, it should work fine. what code you are inserting in the post?

 

I am inserting my "Get Ad Code" from the AdSense Setup page.

It starts with <script type="text/javascript">

 

have you modified the adsense code? cause I don't see the adsense colors code for the text and links in your site

 

I haven't. I copy the code right off the Google AdSense page and then paste it into the post.

 

but your current code is
<script type="text/javascript"><!-- google_ad_client = "pub-XXXXXXXXXXX"; google_ad_width = 234; google_ad_height = 60; google_ad_format = "234x60_as"; google_ad_type = "text_image"; google_ad_channel =""; //--></script><script src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js" type="text/javascript"> </script>

which doesn't contain the text and link color code options.
regenerate the code for adsense and it should work fine.

 

I put: <script type="text/javascript"><!--
google_ad_client = "pub-XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX";
google_ad_width = 468;
google_ad_height = 60;
google_ad_format = "468x60_as";
google_ad_type = "text_image";
google_ad_channel ="";
//--></script>
<script type="text/javascript"
src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js">
</script>

And it still isn't working.

 

I use this plugin to add adsense to my wordpress blog. It helps you easily manage and insert ads wherever you want.

I hope that helps.

 

as mentioned above, you are not adding the complete adsense code.
If you add (just an example below) the code too, I think it should work

google_color_border = "8888FF";
google_color_bg = "CCCCFF";
google_color_link = "000066";
google_color_url = "222222";
google_color_text = "222222";
