Help adding HTML to my site

Hello all, any information to help me would be much appreciated.

I am trying to add HTML to my site (my skill in building a site is very limited, so please forgive my lack of proper terms).

The first thing I want to add is music to my portfolio slide show. I use the site Cincopa and have an auto start song that I can embed into a page with HTML. When I click this link I have to code options.

The first says: "Copy this HTML code and paste it into your blog, CMS or site wherever you want the gallery to appear." and the following code starts with <div id=........

When I add this in (using the customize page and dragging the HTML window into my smug mug page, it only adds the code text to my page, but not the song player.

the second option says: IF YOUR CMS DOESN'T SUPPORT JAVASCRIPT TRY THIS :
Copy this HTML code and paste it into your blog, CMS or site wherever you want the gallery to appear
When I place this text into the HTML, nothing shows up at all

Please help, what am I doing wrong

The second think I would like to add to my page is a Facebook box that has a like button, which is connected to my smug mug sites Facebook page. I have the same problem here, none of the codes work when I plug them into my HTML.

P.S... I don't know the difference between HTML and CSS. Is this the problem?

    Unfortunately, Smugmug blocks all forms of Javascript so these sort of features are almost impossible to add.

    However, the music player option that asks if your site doesn't support Javascript may be possible.

    Would it be possible for you to paste all the code it tells you to add?

    The code they provide that doesn't use JavaScript is probably an , which isn't supported on SmugMug either. Even if the iframe loads, there is no way of it embedding Flash into the page or using HTML5 audio to play music.

    The best you can do is probably to turn your music into a video and add a SmugMug video widget to the page to play it. You could even use a YouTube widget and have that auto-play a song you find on YouTube.
