Here are the steps to show Ads just below the header section.

First of all, locate the file index.template.php.

Now goto the following section:

QUOTE
<body>';

// The logo, user information, news, and menu.
echo '
......

Note the HTML just below that:

QUOTE
<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" align="center" width="95%" class="tborder">

It is a table to show logo, user information and menu.
Now find following line:
QUOTE
<br />', $context['current_time'], '
</td>
</tr>

Finally, insert a new table row and paste Adsense Code there.
CODE
<tr>
<td colspan="2" valign="middle" align="center" class="tborder" style="border-width: 1px 0 0 0; font-size: smaller;">
<script type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript"
src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js">
</script>
</td>
</tr>

This will show Adsense Ads just below the header section.

To show Adsense Ads at the bottom of the webpages (above the footer section):
Locate the following lines in the same file i.e. index.template.php

QUOTE
</table>';
// Don't show a login box, just a break.
else
echo '
<br />';

Below that line Type the following code:

CODE

echo '
<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="3" border="0" align="center" width="95%" class="tborder">
<tr>
<td align="center">
<script type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript"
src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js">
</script>
</td>
</tr>
</table>';

Now the Ads will be displayed both below the header and above the footer section of the webpages.

Just replace what the <script>.....</script> to your ad code
