Does this code look right?
nobody will be able to tell without seeing your site live.
using a tool such as Firebug http://getfirebug.com/ might help you to get clarity about what style to use.
My mistake. Here’s my site – http://golovegreece.com/
What I want to do is have ads in the footer on the front page, but not have these ads appear in subsequent pages.
I’ve got Firebug. How would I use it in this instance? Thanks

The code you created would never work. That style does not exist on your theme.
The styles on your footer is used sitewide(all pages/posts) so, using “display none” is not going to work.
One method would be replicating your footer.php, naming that copy to footer-2.php
Now, go to page.php, at the bottom, find and change the get_footer so it looks like:
<?php get_footer('2'); ?>
By this way, your posts will use footer.php and pages, footer-2.php. Add your ads to footer.php
in your case it might work with:
#footer { display: none; }
.home #footer { display: block; }
however, it might be more efficient to wrap the ad code into a conditional statement;
in footer.php:
example:
<?php if( is_home() || is_front_page() ) : ?>
the code for the two ads here
<?php endif; ?>

I tried both the footer-2.php method and using the code:
#footer { display: none; }
.home #footer { display: block; }
and both seemed to do the trick, giving me greater control of where ads appear in page and post footers, which is what I was after, so many thanks for this.
