You'll be glad you did later, because things will work properly if you take time to set up this page properly.

Intro/Main Page Header & Counter Code/Main Page Footer: These two boxes are used to customize your store with HTML code.
Important note - do not put a form in the top field, it may mess with your cart's code and cause people to not to be able to put things in their cart.
Also, be sure that ALL your links are closed in the header, or again people won't be able to put things in their cart.
Your code in this box absolutely must be clean and standards compliant or it will cause issues.
