I inserted
float: right in the style, and it seems to work... here's the code:
HTML Code:
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<style>
div#blog-name {
font: bold 240%/100% Verdana, sans-serif;
padding: 12px 12px 0 12px;
float: right
}
</style>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<div id="blog-name">
<a>Log Text</a>
This is the place where Google AdSense should show up
<script type="text/javascript"><!--
google_ad_client = "XXX";
/* 468x60, created 3/21/08 */
google_ad_slot = "3620415184";
google_ad_width = 468;
google_ad_height = 60;
//-->
</script>
<script type="text/javascript"
src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"/>
</div>
</BODY>
</HTML>
I thought maybe the AdSense code itself changes styles somehow, but that would be strange cos Google engineers should understand that webmasters would want to place it anywhere...
