 * I am trying to insert a widget on the static home page
 * [http://www.bradburyinsurance.com](http://www.bradburyinsurance.com)
 * I want the widget to be to the right of the gallery.
 * I am new to working with WordPress and the current content on the front page 
   is coded in the page (front-page.php) with html inside the Featured-content div.
   I want the information to the right of the images to be editable through a widget.
   
   I have installed Widget on page, made a sidebar in my Admin panel and added a
   text widget to the sidepanel. Reading through instructions and threads, I cannot
   use the shortcode in a post as ‘Edit this page’ takes me to a post that does 
   not display on the front page. I have tried calling the widget with the php <?
   php widgets_on_template(“wop_1”); ?> inside the div but it doesn’t show up.
 * I must not be finding the right places for the code. I looked in Sidebar.php 
   but the sidebar I made ‘news’ does not show up as registering there.
 * I am using a Sidebar left – content layout for the rest of my pages.
 * What steps am I missing?
