 * Hello everyone. I was wondering how to put a little java script code _before_
   the first post on my wordpress blog..?

 * Edit your theme, put the code in there.

 * Well, **obviously**. But where do I put the code to have it sit before the first
   post?
 * I tried putting it in the first post and making it sticky, but the Java aspects
   didn’t show up within the post. Anyone have a halfway decent answer?

 * I don’t understand the question. You’d put it in your theme wherever the heck
   you’d want it to actually be.
 * I mean, where do you want to put it? In the header? In the footer? In the index
   template? You’re asking the question “where do I put it” but not telling us where
   you actually want to put it, you know? 🙂
 * If you want it before the first post then you edit the theme and put it above
   the posts [Loop](http://codex.wordpress.org/The_Loop). So either there’s your
   answer or I’m somehow misunderstanding your question.

 * Ahh, it worked that time. Thanks!
 * One last question, the bottom of my java applet is touching the top of the most
   recent blog post. How do I add a gap in between the two page objects?

 * No, it is a programming language. I’ve got the java that I wanted working. But,
   it’s butted up against the first post.. and I want a gap in between the two items(
   like the gap between the items in the sidebar.)

 * 1. Java is not Javascript. These are two different things entirely, so it’s confusing
   when you mix the two up.
 * 2. Wrap the code in a DIV with a class, and then use CSS to give that DIV some
   extra bottom margin.
 *     ```
       <div class="myscript">
       .. your script ..
       </div>
       ```
   
 * In the CSS file:
 *     ```
       div.myscript {
       margin-bottom: 5px;
       }
       ```

 * Why wrapping another div (tag) around a script tag? The script tag itself is 
   also stylable using CSS. 😉
