I just download Atahualpa 3.7.3 yesterday to begin a new blog and have been unable to get AdSense ads to appear in the Left Sidebar Widget using the Text widget.

I had an ad appear briefly when I first put in the HTML code this morning (ad was for Zazzle) but nothing since.

I saw that there were issues with earlier versions, but I figured that the fixes and patches would have been incorporated into 3.7.3.

URL is: grandpermonth.com

PS--I am relatively new to blogging let alone all of the HTML stuff. I am not a coder for sure.

What Adsense code did you use?

<script type="text/javascript"><!--
google_ad_client = "ca-pub-xxxxxxxxxxxx";
/* 160x600, created 5/26/11 */
google_ad_slot = "5164332608";
google_ad_width = 160;
google_ad_height = 600;
//-->
</script>
<script type="text/javascript"
src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js">
</script>

what is the site url?
I assume the xxxxxxxxxxxx is where your ID would be, but you blanked it out, correct?

The site URL is: grandpermonth.com

You are correct that I ex'ed out my number.

I'm seeing AD's in the left sidebar

I just got home from dinner and responded to your reply. I am now seeing ads in IE and Chrome but not Firefox. I wonder why that is. I don't have any ad blocker since I see them on every other site using Firefox. I guess I won't worry about it too much. I usually try to check all three browsers when making changes anyway.
