I undid the first step from the instructions I followed and then implemented your method (from Post #4), and it still is not where I want it. You can check the site (www.mypilotnetwork) and see how it is now.
However, the way it is now may be suitable. I will have to check with the person I am doing this for...
This is exactly what you were looking for. (Problem solved )
Personally if it is my site I would make the header wider and put the ads where they were.
