I have just started a blog, and am VERY new to it. I am trying to edit the html source code on my site (ie, to insert google adsense search bars). I go to my blog site, get to page source and see the html but I am not able to edit it. Not sure what I am doing wrong. Thanks!

You can use any editor you want mine is set up for notepad.exe

see http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox.htm#notepad
to invoke use "Ctrl+U" or View > Page Source
this is for sites that you maintain on your local drives or servers, and copy over to a website.
