Adverts in wordpress sidebars
"Hi, looking for a bit of help with the left and right sidebars on my wordpress theme. Whenever I use an advert in these sidebars I can never get them to settle 'dead in the middle' if you know what I mean. The adverts always hang to the left side of the sidebars - very irritating and it makes the overall look of the site a little shabby and unprofessional. Is there any way around this, i am putting in a lot of effort to this new site and i would love to sort the sidebars out if possible".
Any takers? I've had this problem with the other two sites I've built and run using wordpress express but this time it's really bugging me. I am putting a lot of work into this site as it is the first site I'm basing on a niche I personally love. The site is coming on well but the layout of the ads in the left and right sidebars is really letting the overall look down. I was wondering if anyone else has encountered this problem and would like to comment on it. Cheeky I know - leaving a forum post and using a blog to draw attention to it but hey, it could help others who are having the same problem as me. Cheers!

Actually, I may of picked that up from playing with BCC code some how.
