 * Help! I wanted to put Google AdSense on my website so I signed up for it and 
   they gave me a code to paste into my html. Apparently I don’t have access to 
   my html because WordPress doesn’t allow that? I have been told to paste the code
   into a widget, which I did, but AdSense sent me an email saying they could not
   view my site. I have no idea where to put the code! Someone help me please!

 * If you prefer using a plugin to do it for you, then try reviewing some plugins:

 * If like add the code without plugin:
    Where to add the code would depend on your
   theme (please post wht theme youare using).
 * Possibly, the location to edit would probably be in header.php of your theme,
   somewhere below the code of the menu.
 * There is always the risk to break something; therefore:
 * – make a full backup before editing;

 * – possibly work with a child theme;

 * – possibly use FTP to edit the files;
