   I have a static page as a home page.
   Front - Main
   Posts - News

   I'd like to add a widget inside of a div on the main page. That way I can easily add a new video ect inside that div without having to open main.php and add updates there.

   Is there anyway I can do this without any plugins?

   In your functions.php register a dynamic sidebar area:
   

   register_sidebar( array(
   		'name' => 'Main Sidebar',
   		'id' => 'main-sidebar-1',
   		'description' => 'Here you can place widgets for the main page',
   		'before_widget' => '<aside id="%1$s" class="widget %2$s">',
   		'after_widget' => "</aside>",
   		'before_title' => '<h3 class="widget-title">',
   		'after_title' => '</h3>',
   	) );

   This sidebar appears in the widgets admin page, now. You may add your widgets.

   In your main page template put a call to your new sidebar area dynamic_sidebar( 'main-sidebar-1' )

   Probably you need some additional DIV to get proper results.
