Custom JS unknows tags

Hello,

I am totally new to wordpress/CMS theming but I’ve made my best so far to read through the docs. Now I guess I am have a problem with a simple thing.

I have a JavaScript snippet like this:
jQuery(function($){
$(“#tweet h1”).tweet({
username: “myname”,
join_text: “auto”,
count: 1,
auto_join_text_default: “”,
auto_join_text_ed: “”,
auto_join_text_ing: “”,
auto_join_text_reply: “”,
auto_join_text_url: “”,
loading_text: “Tweets are loading …”
});
});

and that’s the HTML:

<div id=”tweet”><img src=”images/icons/twitter_bird.png” width=”76″ height=”52″ /><h1></h1></div>

It works well on a static site.

Now I want to include this function for displaying one single tweet on my homepage.

Here’s what I did:

– Pasting the JavaScript as it is in twitter.js which is already used by the theme
– Pasting the HTML as it is in homepage-template.php (child theme).

I don’t know any PHP – do I have to use special tags? E.g. do I have to put the HTML in <php> tags?

I am sorry for asking such questions but I hope this will help me understanding the system.

Furthermore when I am chosing another theme the page content looks like this:

[raw]

[featurebox title=”Unique Grunge Design” href=”#”]

[/featurebox]

[service_block icon=”https://corporate.egern.net/wp-content/themes/grungexperience/images/demo/web_dev_icon.png&#8221; title=”Web Development”]
The site itself can be divided into it’s main page, also known as the home page, which cites the main objective.
[/service_block]

What kind of code is this and where do I find a documentation?
