Result!

Google's Blogger Dynamic views can now display Adsense ads but for the life of me I could not get them to display.

After much too and fro it turns out that I have AdBlocker installed as a Google Chrome application and that is automatically filtered adsense advertisements seamlessly from the page - no blank patches, simply not there.

The adblock tool also filers content from blog posts - so I had attempted to write a blog post criticising (constructively) Google's adsense help / lack thereof but the post just appeared as a blank box so I was convinced big brother was filtering such comments.

So Adblock duly removed as somewhat over zealous.
