I highly recommend you make a backup of your sidebar.php file before editing it. That goes for any file, really.
Open the appearances tab and click Editor. On the screen that loads, you can edit the .php files that make up your theme. DO NOT mess with this if you have no clue about PHP. You don’t need to know a lot, but you have to be able to locate the individual elements of the sidebar so that you can stick your Etsy Mini in the right place.
On the right side of the screen, there is a list of the files in your theme. You can edit the code of a file by clicking on it. Click on sidebar.php.
The code for the sidebar will display in the text box in the center of the screen. Scroll down until you find the place where you want to put your Etsy Mini. In this case, mine is under my contact information section and right before the tags. Copy the format of the other sidebar items (Mine is H2 format for the Label text, and I also use organizational comments so I can easily identify sections) to make a new item for your mini. Replace the item content code with the code for your Etsy Mini. If you want to format it (I wanted mine centered, not on the left) then put formatting tags around the entire Mini code.
The Etsy Mini code is between the red lines. I added a Center tag to make it display in the center instead of to the left. Hit Update File, and that’s it! Check out the website to see if your mini worked. You can see what mine looks like by looking at the sidebar of this page.
