Hi,

I've seen others who place Adsense Ads directly within the body of their Adsense blogs. Does anyone know how to do this? I've tried it and received html type errors and blogspot will not allow me to make that placement.

Do you need to adjust the html for the adsense code?

Put it in a js file Google " javascript in a js file"

Where are you placing it? In the middle?

You will surely get HTML parsing errors as you need to parse your adsense code before inserting directly in your template (for blogger).
Try any 'online adsense ad parser' and see if there is any result
