The huge extra spaces in your posts are caused by Adsense ads that are not displaying. Don’t paste Adsense code directly into your posts. Put it into your theme files instead. There are Adsense-ready themes out there that make this much easier.
You also need to validate and fix your code (you have major errors that can affect proper site display).
how do i validate and fix the code, please advise! (sorry i am a newbie at this)
also, i don’t have adwords on for this, so i am not sure why that space is showing up!
Oops, it looks like you are using an Adsense-ready theme of a sort. Get rid of this in your theme files:
<div style="text-align: center;margin: 3px;"><script type="text/javascript"><!--
google_ad_client = "pub-";
google_alternate_color = "FFFFFF";
google_ad_width = ;
google_ad_height = ;
google_ad_format = "_as";
google_ad_type = "";
google_ad_channel ="";
google_color_border = "";
google_color_link = "";
google_color_bg = "";
google_color_text = "";
google_color_url = "";
google_ui_features = "";
//--></script>
<script type="text/javascript"
src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js">
</script></div>
If you don’t want to edit code your theme files to remove this or to validate code (fix code errors), I’d recommend switching to a new theme.
