Adding code to WordPress theme

[KevMackenzie]

I'm a newbie at web design with Wordpress but I am getting the hang of it.

I have a simple question ... How and where do I add the string of code from a different site so that the link appears on my Home screen.

I want to add the following to my site:

<form action="http://www.easyinfo.co.za/search.php" method="post" name="easysearch" target="_blank" id="easysearch"><img src="http://www.easyinfo.co.za/images/logo_small.jpg" width="200" height="40" /><br /><input name="query" type="text" value="Search..."/ style="width:158px;" /><input type="image" style="vertical-align: bottom;" name="submit" src="http://www.easyinfo.co.za/images/go.gif" width="43" height="22" /></form>

Go to your Home Page and edit it like you want to add content. Look at the right hand side of the edit screen, it should say Visual and Text.

Click Text, go to the area of the text where you want to paste the code, paste it, go back to Visual and see if it's working.

It should be fine, if not, you might need to add it to your Theme files, try the above solution first.

Also look at putting that in a widget.

The Text Widget can hold a variety of HTML, XHTML, and multimedia links and players such as video and object embeds.

I agree with ghoti a widget would be your best option for that.
