3D Slider Slice Box install too confusing

    1. I want to implement the 3D Slider Slice Box on my site. – http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/3d-slider-slicebox/

    2. I’m using the Simplify Theme. – http://d5creation.com/theme/simplify/

    3. The author gives the following statement as installation instruction:

    Installation and usage
    Add and activate the plugin, add the template tag <?php if(sb_slides_display()){sb_slides_display();} ?>

    4. I cannot determine how to “add the template tag” and the author doesn’t say, and nothing I’ve found on codex.wordpress.org seems to help.

    5. The description/definition given at http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags states:

    Template tags files are stored in the wp-includes directory. The files have the suffix of “-template.php” to distinguish them from other WordPress files. There are 9 template tags files:

    wp-includes/general-template.php
    wp-includes/author-template.php
    wp-includes/bookmark-template.php
    wp-includes/category-template.php
    wp-includes/comment-template.php
    wp-includes/link-template.php
    wp-includes/post-template.php
    wp-includes/post-thumbnail-template.php
    wp-includes/nav-menu-template.php

    6. The template my homepage Page (not Post) uses is called “Default Template” and the other template options are “Blog”, “Front Page”, and “Full Width” in the page editor.

    7. The templates I have available in the wp-includes directory are:
    wp-includes/author-template.php
    wp-includes/bookmark-template.php
    wp-includes/category-template.php
    wp-includes/comment-template.php
    wp-includes/general-template.php
    wp-includes/link-template.php
    wp-includes/media-template.php
    wp-includes/nav-menu-template.php
    wp-includes/post-template.php
    wp-includes/post-thumbnail-template.php

    8 The explanation at http://codex.wordpress.org/Stepping_Into_Templates isn’t giving me much of a clude. Can ANYBODY please tell me where to put <?php if(sb_slides_display()){sb_slides_display();} ?> and how? The author stumbled through numerous clarifications in subsequent posts and still left users clueless. Newbies are always at a huge disadvantage if authors assume too much about what users of their plugins already know how to do. MUCH time ends up being wasted running in circles for solutions. Maybe I’m missing something but this is my experience.
