no marketing major

I have attempted to add adsense to my blog but don't really know what I'm doing. This has been a crash course in marketing and computer lingo for me.
I have found that the google people have been quick to respond to my e-mail inquiries, I just don't always know what it is they are helping me with.
It isn't them, its me.
I am probably the last person that should be tweaking their blog but nothing ventured nothing gained.
Bear with me as I learn how to do this. The rest of you could probably have this done in a few minutes but me, it will probably take days if not weeks.
