So ...
Once you have created your giveaway, Rafflecopter will give you a code which you can paste into Wordpress to display the giveaway widget:
Copy the code, go to your Wordpress admin area, create a new post or page for your giveaway, switch to text editor mode and paste the code:
And here is the result after hitting the "Publish" button ...
Note: if the widget does not appear on your page or post instantly, just refresh the page.
Simple as that ...
And needless to say, you can edit your giveaway any time ...
Simply log in into your Rafflecopter account and edit your giveaway.
And you don’t need to update the code in your Wordpress post or page because it will automatically reflect the changes you made in your Rafflecopter account.
Nice isn't it?
OK. Let's move forward to the next lesson for a few final thoughts ...

Two questions I still have.
Do I have to create a post or page for this widget or can I put it right away into the sidebar of my website?
Can I set the numbers of winners i.e. the first 10 who leave a comment.... will receive the Giveaway?
Thanks for your answers.

You could... You're more than welcome to pick a winner by hand if you'd like, but if you do, you'll have to announce the winner on the outside of the widget. In order to have a winner displayed on the Rafflecopter widget when your giveaway is over, they must be selected by Rafflecopter on the 'entries' tab randomly by clicking 'add a winner'.
