Derrick:
If you take a look at the home page of TheChocolateLife.com you will see that I narrowed the "About" blog and added a right-hand column that contains two ads served up by Broadstreet.
What Strumelia suggests is a great approach if you need a block with styled text and you want to edit it with a WYSIWYG editor. However, if what you want to do is insert code for a 3rd party ad server then here is the approach I used.
It might not be the most elegant or concise bit of code, but it works. The key, as either Michael or Brian explained to me, is the use of {literal} {/literal}. This will mean that the parser will ignore what's inside.
<div class="col4 last">
<div class="container">
{* ========== BEGIN MARKETPLACE *}
<div class="item blog-archive-header m10">
<h2>Member Marketplace</h2>
</div>
<div align="center">
{* BROADSTREET JAVASCRIPT *}
{literal}
<script type="text/javascript">
the_script
</script>
{/literal}
<br /><hr width = "87%"><br />
{literal}
<script type="text/javascript">
the_script
</script>
{/literal}
{* END BROADSTREET JAVASCRIPT *}
</div>
{* END MARKETPLACE *}
</div>
</div>
The Broadsreet server requires support scripts to be loaded in in the head to work, and those are put in meta.tpl.
