Help to put html codes in my site

I created a forum from forumotion. There are certain html codes i want to use in it, like a shoutbox, a clock, etc. people say that i should insert the codes in the "site description" panel. but there isnt enough space there to ftit them all. What should i do? i also do not want to make a new html page for the shoutbox and clock. i want them on my index page.

please help me people!!!!

Well you can activate a shoutbox without writing it:
Administration->General Admin->Chatbox (Advanced parameters)
There you can also find localisation options.
I don't have a clue about clocks however as I don't feel I need one.

the shoutbox i want is a customized one from a site. they generated html codes for me.
here it is-

Code:


<!-- Begin ShoutMix - http://www.shoutmix.com -->
<object title="studentalk" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://www.shoutmix.com/viewer.swf" width="160" height="400">
<param name="movie" value="http://www.shoutmix.com/viewer.swf" />
<param name="flashvars" value="id=studentalk&amp;popup=1&amp;invite=Join%20chat%21" />
</object>
<br /><a href="http://www.shoutmix.com" title="Get your own free shoutbox at ShoutMix!">Free shoutbox @ ShoutMix</a><br />
<!-- End ShoutMix -->


the one above is for a flash shoutbox.
i also have another code to directly put the shoutbox on my site.

Hello.

For the clock and the shootbox, I advise you to put them in one of these 3 locations :

- A portal block (advised for the clock) : Admin Panel > Module > Portal > Portal structure > Create a custom block > click on and after, paste the code and validate. Then, in the portal structure, go to the "Add of personal blocks" drop-down menu and add your new block in the structure.

- the homepage message (can be used for the shootbox) : Admin Panel > General Admin > Homepage > Click on the icon then paste the code and validate.

- In a forum description (advised for the shootbox since you can set the permission so only members can access it) : Admin Panel > Forum > Management > You create a forum or you edit an existing forum > you click on the icon > paste the code then validate.

Where do I find a shout box? I ain't much of a genius regarding forums

There are a lot of places to get them from depending on what features you want. I'd recommend just googling "shout box" and exploring what comes up.
