Adsense in CMS Widget

[alaska_av8r]

I am trying to place adsense advertisements on the front page of my CMS. I am using a 180px, 100%, 240px layout for the front page. I did a html static widget that sits right below my sections navigation widget. You can see it here

The problem is that the google adsense is 160 px wide and this looks really goofy in that widget. So to make it look better can I:

1. put an advertisement on the sidebar without using a widget?

2. as it appears if I edit the styling it will affect all static html widgets which I don't want it to do, so can I create a widget call advertising widget with its own styling?

3. I think a widget that was transparent with minimal padding and no title would be perfect.

thanks

If you go to vbulletin CMS -> Widgets and click on "configure" next to your widget, at the bottom there's a Template Name field that probably says 'vbcms_widget_static_page'. You could copy the vbcms_widget_static_page template code to a new template, enter that new template name on the widget config page, then edit that template to look the way you want.

Thank you thank you thank you, that sounds like what I want. I will likely have more questions since I have never copied templates before.

I don't know that there's any copy function, I think you just have to select all the code, copy it (to the clipboard), then create a new template and paste it.
