    How do I place items in the right hand sidebar on my Home page. I want to place a Flag Counter and a Revolving Globe.

    I am not a technical computer person. Your step by step instructions are greatly appreciated.

    You’ll need to touch the code.
    Have you knowledge of HTML or CSS?

    Not really. I do have the HTML codes for both items and do know how to copy them. I do not know how to put them in the sidebar. Right now these two items are on my second page About Us. I put them there by placing copying the HTML code in a post.

    I do not know what ‘to touch the code’ means. Is that copying the HTML code?

    You’ll need to copy the flag and globe HTML, here it is

    <a href="https://s07.flagcounter.com/more/SGYj"><img src="https://s07.flagcounter.com/count/SGYj/bg_FFFFFF/txt_000000/border_CCCCCC/columns_8/maxflags_248/viewers_0/labels_1/pageviews_1/flags_1/" alt="free counters" border="0"></a>
    
    <script type="text/javascript" src="https://je.revolvermaps.com/r.js"></script><script type="text/javascript">// <![CDATA[
    rm_f1st('0','220','true','false','000000','4od8mlz96cs','true','ff0000');
    // ]]></script><object data="https://re.revolvermaps.com/f/g.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" id="rm_3a3sZq" width="220" height="220"><param name="movie" value="https://re.revolvermaps.com/f/g.swf"><param name="allowNetworking" value="all"><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"><param name="wmode" value="window"><param name="flashvars" value="m=0&n=false&b=000000&r=true&i=4od8mlz96cs&v=true&c=ff0000&s=220"></object>

    Then paste it into the sidebar.php file, but I don’t know where you want it.

    You’ll then need to think about how to get the Flag counter to fit.

    The Revolving Globe has its own code. The Flag Counter has its own code. The Flaf Counter can be placed in a thinner two columns.

    The HTML codes for both are somewhat longer, but similar.

    How do I place them in the sidebar?

    I don’t know which theme you’re using, but as an example, the theme ‘twentyten’ has its sidebar in ‘websiteName\wp-content\themes\twentyten\sidebar.php’.

    Could you paste me the contents your of sidebar.php?

    I would place it at the bottom of the sidebar under the Meta category.

    I do not know how to get to the sidebar.php file.

    Sorry but I am getting lost here. I do not know if I have access to a folder with my website files.

    I should be able to do this from My Dashboard, shouldn’t I?

    This is where sidebar.php is for twenty eleven theme
    websiteName\wp-content\themes\twentyeleven\sidebar.php

    I’ll check if it’s within the dashboard, 1 sec

    Appearance

    then

    Editor

    Then on the right side of the screen, under

    Templates

    click on

    sidebar.php

    Found it!

    So I just have hit an enter and then paste my HTML codes at the end of the code that is showing?
