There is already a fabulous Adsense block available. You can download it [ Register or login to view links on this board.] . All you have to do is insert your usernumber and activate the block and it will start displaying your ads.

Thanks to both of you, about that one you download, it's set to a pre-size block. What would I edit in this code to make it horizontal instead of vertical?

By changing the value of "$number_of_ads_to_show", it will automatically resize the block for you to display either 1, 2, 3, or 4 of the ads that normally show with a skyscraper adblock.

If you would like to modify the width of the block, change the value of "google_ad_width". I wouldn't recommend this as 120 is the default width for blocks in Nuke.

To modify the height, either use the option above (this will set the height appropriate for the number of ads you want to show), or change the value of "google_ad_height". I would recommend leaving this as "$ad_height" though since that allows you to modify it simply using the method above.

Thank you, I just read the Adsence FAQ (doh!) and it answered most my questions, It says to just copy and paste the code when I get it. Now where am I pasting this code to?
Thanks,

No! Don't copy an code. It is all set up in the block already. All you have to edit is:

$ google_ad_client = "pub-9839777177813177";

Thx, but that block is ugly :P I think I will just copy the code and have it look like it is on many other sites. Thanks though,

Hi

I have been trying to find this google adsense block for a week. When I go to download it, I get redirected to a blank page.. Can anyone please e-mail this to me or tell me where a valid place to download it is?

Thanks
