I need help with Tumblr?

Okay so I know where to get codes to add all the fancy smancy stuff but I just need help!! I look it up about where to put these codes but I'm still confused.

I go on http://freecodesource.com/tumblr-codes/index to get the codes for the stuff I want to add but I don't know where to put them in.

1. I copy the code

2. I go to customize my blog

So I'm on the part where theres a rectangular bar on the left. At the top it's like a square with tools on it and it's gray. It's says custom theme. Do I click that and enter the code there? I didn't think so because that's were I have the code for my theme. Where am I supposed to put the codes then?

Also, what is the custom link stuff at the bottom?

    The first "Custom Theme" part is usually where you add the stuff, but you can also add it in your description as well. See the first "Custom Theme" part has to do with the layout of your theme and requires a bit of CSS coding and HTML knowledge to tweak it and customize it to your heart's content, however you can usually paste the code between <head> and <body>.

    Typically I would just paste the code in your description because it looks cleaner (depending on what the widget is eg: visitor count, music player.) If you go to my tumblr (same name) you see I have a music player in my description area as well as gif. I used to have the music player in the "Custom Theme" part but if I did that, the player would be sent to the top of the page and if you wanted to turn it off, you would have to scroll all the way up.
