hey guys!

i have two questions..the first one is when i put the adsense for content in my page editor it says "you are not able to insert javascript", what can i do about this? My second question is how can i get a blog on my site. THANKS!

The editor you use probably doesn't allow javascript. If that's the case I'd strongly suggest using another builder. The one you have seems very restrictive.

And if you want to incorporate a blog either try www.wordpress.com or www.blogger.com Both have instructions for integrating them into your site.

Well you put the adsense code just before your body tags close for example

<script>
bla bla

bla bla

bla bla boop

</script>
</body>

Google uses an external javascript file so you wont need to worry about your host accepting javascript most do anyway.

As for your second question I'm assuming you dont want it actually embedded in your page more of a sub folder so:

http://www.yourdomain.com/blog/

You can use blogger and get a sub domain from them at:

http://www.blogger.com

Or if you want it hosted on your actual site with more control most of the members here including lisa who has recently upgraded to Wordpress would recommend it however like blogger they also have a version where you can use them as the host.

You can download Wordpress for your site and host it via your site

http://wordpress.org/

Or

You can sign up just like blogger but a different company at here for a free Wordpress sub domain and hosting by them.

http://wordpress.com/

For installing once you have download and unpacked your files from Wordpress need to be uploaded into your chosen sub folder or sub domain folder via FTP which im sure your familiar with.

So for you it probably will be:

http://www.yoursite.com/blog/

Replacing 'yoursite' with your actual domain name of course use the quick install guide that they provide for proper instructions to install this great app and web software.

http://codex.wordpress.org/Installing_WordPress

I recommend the famous five minute installation as its by far the quickest and simplest but if you want to take it slower that's fine too!

Once you've installed your word press you will have to go through multiple set-up questions such as database information when running the set-up script when you are instructed to do so, so make sure to have your MySQL database login, name and server at hand!

If you have any problems installing it just post here and im sure we will be able to help you out!

Oh and Good luck!

Oh, I was under the impression an error was received after pasting the AdSense code. I know some editors don't except javascript.

I also forgot to mention. Check and see if your host has cpanel or uses fantastico, etc. That's the easiest way to install a WordPress blog.

hey guys thanks for the replys! im getting wordpress now, adsense still doesnt work though the adsense for search works fine but the adsense for content doesnt everytime i go to insert then HTML and put the code it it says "you are not able to insert javascript". do you guys have any recommendations for a new page editor? I do have the cpanel and fantastico thing, if you go to hostmonster.com and click veiw demo it will show you all the other stuff it has you would probably understand it better then me

You never said what editor you were using but try...

http://www.nvu.com/

It's free and is on par with Frontpage and Dreamweaver. You probably get more with Dreamweaver but you gotta spend more to.
