 * Actually, I have no idea what you are asking. 🙂
 * If you want the actual code to show in your posts put it in the `<code>` tags
   or just use the code button.
 * What is it you are trying to do?

 * I was trying to put html copied from another site onto
    my sidebar! As you will
   know, I am inexperienced and trying to learn.
 * Thanks for taking the time to reply.

 * OK, to edit the look of your page you go to the wp-content/themes/ then open 
   the folder of the theme you are using for your blog. If you haven’t changed it
   in your admin panel it will be the default folder
 * To add something to your sidebar you will see a file in your theme folder called
   sidebar.php
 * You will notice some php mixed in with the html so try to figure out what does
   what. Add your new html in upload and test. Make sure you keep a backup of the
   original files incase you really mess things up (we’ve all been there). 🙂
 * Hope that’s what you were asking about.
