Layout Help

So, I are an idiot when it comes to doing complicated things with my LJ. And I wanted to put some of those animation things in my sidebar like lots of people have. So, I went to the sidebar customization area where I thought it was all supposed to go and tried to put some in, but nothing happened. :-( Can anyone help?

HELP!!!

Before I throw my laptop against the wall...

How the FUCK do you trim clips in ULEAD?!?!? It won't stick. No matter what I do. The "in" goes back to the beginning or the "out" goes back to the end or the same as the "in". WTF IS GOING ON?!?!?!?
