   Hey There:
   Any ideas how I can insert an ad unit between 10 posts... Basically after the 1st 5 posts on a page.

   Like so:
   ------
   blog
   ------
   blog
   ------
   blog
   ------
   blog
   ------
   blog
   ------
   Ad Unit
   ------

   ------
   blog
   ------

   Thanks!
   Shelby.

   You can always insert the shortcode in any post you want, like so:
   [ad#name]

   It won't necessarily be between posts, exactly like you want, but at least you can control in which posts you want ads to appear.

   Hope this helps!

   open index.php and look for something like
   <?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

   just above that insert the following:

   <?php $postnum = 1; $showad1 = 6; ?>

   then look for the code that calls the title (it's usually just before the_content tag). for example:
   <h2><a title="<?php the_title(); ?>" href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>

   just above that insert the following:

   <?php if ($postnum == $showad1) {adsensem_ad('YOUR_AD_NAME');} ?>

   make sure you replace YOUR_AD_NAME with the name of the ad you want displayed.

   lastly, look for:
   <?php endwhile; else: ?>

   just above that, insert the following:

   <?php $postnum++; ?>

   save index.php open your site and do a hard refresh.. the ad should appear just before the 6th post..
