This is based on Dolphin 6.1.x code.

You can ad Google Adsense to the top area of a Blog Post. Display Google Adsense at the bottom of a Blog Post or both.

You should be familiar with Google Adsense, and will need to obviously create the ad in your Google account. Make sure you choose one that will actually fit, and change the text colors to match your site in your account. This example is a Google Text Only Ad size 468x60 horizontal.

I also used <center> and </center> tags to center it, and put some <br> line breaks in. You may have to play around with the <br> line breaks to suit your needs.

Now obviously the code you are inserting is your Google Adsense code in the above examples I used my code:

<br><center>
<script type="text/javascript"><!--
google_ad_client = "pub-XXXXXXXXXX";
/* 468x60, created 10/6/08 */
google_ad_slot = "XXXXXXXXXX";
google_ad_width = 468;
google_ad_height = 60;
//-->
</script>
<script type="text/javascript"
src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js">
</script></center><br>

***Be sure this is replaced with your actual Google Adsense Account code so you get credit for clicks on your site not me***

Finally save the file over-writting the original.

Refresh a blog post to see the changes.

*Note: Sometimes Google Adsense can take up to 10 minutes to show/display if you have just created the ad in your Google Account.

Problems: Restore original backup file:
/inc/classes/BxDolBlogs.php

You were instructed to download to your local pc prior to attempting this.

Good Luck!!
