Copy and paste Amazon carousel widget

[sceptre]

Hi
I am very new to Wordpress but learning as I go along. I have a Wordpress blog with a review theme installed that I want to use to sell Amazon products. I have created 7 review posts and installed all the necessary plug-ins etc. I am wanting to put an Amazon carousel on the main page. I have the HTML etc but have no idea how to insert the code so that it shows on the main page above all the items for sale. I can insert the code using the HTML button in a post and it shows up OK. I would be very grateful if someone could help me? This is probably a simple thing to do but remember I am a total newbie.
Any help appreciated
Peter

You need to edit the home page theme template file. This varies from theme to theme but will be either index.php, home.php, or front-page.php. Open it up in an editor and add the code where you want it to go.

A good tip is to use Firebug in Firefox. Install Firebug if not already done so and load your home page up in Firefox, then right click on the page element where you would like your Amazon widget to go and click on 'Inspect Element'. This will show you where in your code (i.e. the right div, p tags etc.) where you need to insert your code.

If you need any more help, can you tell us what theme you are using, plus give a link to your site.

Hi David
Thanks for the reply. Have installed Firebug but not sure how to use it. Pretty sure the code needs to be added to the Main Index Template (index.php) as you said but where exactly. I am using a Wordpress Review Theme v1.4 (the guitar theme). The site URL is www.electriclawnmowerreviews.net. Using Firebug I noticed it said something about "carousel container" - wonder if the code goes there?
Would appreciate your help.
Regards
Peter

I see you've sorted it, as you have flying lawnmowers on your home page carousel now! :)
