How To Add Adsense To Your Blog

This is my first blog posting and I wanted to add an Adsense gadget. I first had to create a blog. I guess a blog is a container for all the content I will write about on this particular topic, "Adding Adsense". So, to continue, I select the Layout tab. Hold on, let me get there and I'll write what I find...just came back from the layout tab, found the adsense gadget, added it to the page at the top. Took off some default gadgets and added some gadgets. I'm going to publish and see how it looks.
