    Those are the global weblog preferences, you want to actually click on “Weblog Management” then edit the weblog you are posting to.

    Thank you very much Lisa,
    I found it, however “allow all html” is already selected.
    Do you have any other ideas why the google ads will not display?

    Cathie,

    Google has to spider your page and find the ads on the page, then it can take a few hours to a few days for it to show any content.  There is always a wait while Google learns your site. If you view source and see the JS there in-tact, then it is just a matter of waiting for Google. My bet is that you’re not doing anything wrong, you just have to wait on Google.

    I just noticed something important.
    Even thought I paste:
                  <div id=“googlead”>
                  <!—
                  google_ad_client = “pub-2694829538333107”;
                  google_ad_width = 120;
                  google_ad_height = 90;
                  google_ad_format = “120x90_0ads_al_s”;
                  google_ad_channel = “”;
                  google_color_border = “CC0000”;
                  google_color_bg = “FFFFFF”;
                  google_color_link = “CC0000”;
                  google_color_text = “CC0000”;
                  google_color_url = “CC0000”;
                  //—>
                   
                   

    When I go to check the HTML, I get:

          <div id=“googlead”> 
          <!—google_ad_client = “pub-2694829538333107”;
          google_ad_width = 120;
          google_ad_height = 90;
          google_ad_format = “120x90_0ads_al_s”;
          google_ad_channel = “”;
          google_color_border = “CC0000”;
          google_color_bg = “FFFFFF”;
          google_color_link = “CC0000”;
          google_color_text = “CC0000”;
          google_color_url = “CC0000”; //—>   
                        </div>

    It seems that the javascript tag get deleted!

    Cathie, is your site public for us?  Could you link to it so we can see the results?  This will help us figure out if it’s an EE issue, or a javascript, etc issue.

    Thanks!  Have a great weekend.

    It seems all javascript tags are removed from the html while publishing a weblog entry.

    Cathie, I’m not sure why you think that, since it is in the rendered source of your page, which you can view by right clicking and choosing “View Source”.

    Sorry Lisa,
    The ad you are seeing is currently in the template. Not in the weblog.

    We are trying to get the google add to display within the body of the weblog entry.  The javascript tags are removed by EE.  Perhaps this is for security, but could we allow administrators to do it?

    I always do it via the template as well, but I thought it would work with ‘Allow all html’ on.  If you want us to test- can you put the js in a text file, zip it up, and attach it?  I also tried Sue’s approach- create a global template variable called ‘google’- put the ad code in that.  Then wherever you want your adsense code inside the entry?  Just use the global- {google}.  Worked in a quick test- and it’s a bit less messy.
