I'm not James but I got the email telling me somebody had replied to the post since I subscribed to receive them. They're all in Thailand and should be sleeping now. lol

Doesn't necessarily mean they will be tho. lol Sometimes not sure any of em every sleep. lol
You're not stupid about html first of all.

I taught myself and it's not easy for anybody to learn.
Not sure which one you're referring to, but unless they've changed they're not html. They're javascript. Similar, except they update themselves and uhhh make it so I can't change their text color. lol

You don't have to do anything at all but just copy and paste the code that's given to you. Are you looking at it online, or in preview of whatever you're placing it in?
