 * Try to put it in your index.php template file just above the Loop.

 * Sorry mate, I’m a bit of a newbie with this. Where is the Loop in the index.php
   file?
 * Here is my index.php file:
 *     ```
       <?php get_header(); ?>
   
       <div id="page_container">
   
       <?php get_sidebar(); ?>
       <?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/leftbar.php'); ?>
   
       <div id="postcol" class="fixheight">
