Google Ad Sense and Plug-ins
-
I am wondering if the template I used for my blog won’t accept Google AdSense? I’ve gone to the Google AdSense page, and copied and tried to past the text into my text widget box, and still I’ve got nothing.
Also, does anyone use plug-ins to manage their Google AdSense, and if you do, which one or ones would you recommend?
Thanks!
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Thanks for the information.
From reading the first url, I can’t run an AdSense ad, unless I have a paid blog, correct? At least that is what I’m reading from that url.
The plug-in url I read didn’t really answer all of my questions about plug-ins. I’m just trying to wrap my head around all of this information.
Since I can run AdSense ads on my free blog, I guess there is no need for an AdSense plug-in, but what other uses would I need a plug-in for? Just trying to understand more about blogging and want to learn more about it.
Thank you!

Paid or not – if you are hosted on WordPress.COM you can’t do ads unless you are in the VIP program or have very high traffic (over 25,000 page views a month) – if you need ads then you will need a WordPress.ORG install on your own host.
Plug-in’s are not used on WordPress.COM sites only on WordPress.ORG installs to add functionality
