Now, your blog has to be customized to look like one that makes money.The first thing I do is to revert to classic template.Now don't be carried away with that.The reason why I do this is to be able to place my adsense well since I do not know HTML(that is the programming language of the internet) so much.However,if you understand html very well,you may not do so.To revert to the classic template,simply click on layout/Template,go and click on edit HTML,scroll down the page that opens until you see a link that says "revert to classic template".Click on it and say yes on the small box that comes up.
