    This is the far left side where there is a white space, how would I do this? What page do I edit?

    Thanks.

    A link to your blog will help us in helping you. I would guess that you need to edit your theme's sidebar.php or if you are using widgets, place the ad code in a text widget.

    Not the sidebar on the right, I want to add a banner to the left white space.

    Thanks.

    Also, if you click the link can you tell me if the page loads fast enough? It seems to take 10+ seconds to load for me...

    Your page didn't tale super long to load for me, maybe 3-5 seconds. In general to add an area to the side of your page you'd need to edit your theme index file (and possibly your file for individual posts and the file for individual pages--these are often named different things--like archive.php single.php, page.php, etc.)

    Since your sidebar is sort of connected directly to your main content area, to place another area ouside of this you'd need to play with adding a div area floated to the left in your index.php file. I would consider reading the "sidebar" how to area on WordPress.org though which might help you in how to set this up, especially if you want to make it easily editable.

    Look at some three-columns template.
    It is very slow to load for me also.
