Aargh! Blogger is confusing me

My format looks pretty bad right now, doesn't it? I'm trying to move the widgets around so that the advertisements aren't right on the top -- a look that I think is a little crass. But I haven't blogged in blogger for a long time, and I think it's mad at me. It refuses to abide by my instructions and resolutely keeps popping those advertisements right back up to the top of the column. I'll work this out eventually, but my apologies for the fact that the blog currently looks like an infomercial.
