I&#8217;ve set up this blog, right.  It&#8217;s right here.  You&#8217;re reading it.  Good on ya.<\/p>\n<p>And Blogger makes it really easy to add Google Adsense to the blog.  Real easy.  &#8216;Cuz Google owns Blogger.  Cool beans.  It&#8217;s all good.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>But, you&#8217;ve got one spot (according to the Blogger Template tools) that those ads can go.  I&#8217;m a rebel, so I manually re-placed the adds over in the Sidebar where they don&#8217;t look like some crazy post where I when jumbo-doodle-cakes talkin&#8217; &#8216;bout Pistons Collectible Gear in crazy link-type format.  Fantastic.<\/p>\n<p>Then I went to change the color scheme of the Adsense.  That&#8217;s when it hit me.  Boom.  Jackhammer.  You simply can&#8217;t move the Adsense.  We want it up top.  That&#8217;s it.<\/p>\n<p>So I re-moved it down to the side bar and figured I&#8217;d fix the colors in the code.  If you&#8217;re like me and you&#8217;ve moved your Adsense button, <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">don&#8217;t ever<\/span> touch the Adsense tab in Template editor, or you&#8217;ll find all your hard work undone.<\/p>\n<p>So I go to edit the colors.  I do so.  The Adsense code is nice in that it gives you helpful javascript variables that you can set to the appropriate color as you see fit.  I did so.  I preview&#8217;ed.  Everything is cool.<\/p>\n<p>But when I go to re-publish my site, the colors won&#8217;t stick.  The Adsense is right where it&#8217;s supposed to be.  It looks OK.  But it&#8217;s stuck color-wise.  Which is really odd, because it <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">works<\/span> in the Blogger Preview.  But not fo-real I guess.  Not cool, guys.<\/p>\n<p>Huh.<\/p>\n<p>UPDATE: Well, the colors updated between runs of Firefox.  Which is interesting, because the first thing I tried was a reload, followed by a reload-frame, followed by a clear of the cache.  Another interesting quirk: when I went to update this post, Firefox would routinely crash.  I am now updating in Safari.  Freaky.<\/p>\n<p>Huh again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hey all! Soooo&#8230;. I&#8217;ve set up this blog, right. It&#8217;s right here. You&#8217;re reading it. Good on ya.
