Step 4. Next, search for the following tag - for more help, see the screenshot below:
]]></b:skin>

.carousel {
position:relative;
clear:both;
margin:10px -20px 20px;
border:2px solid #000; /* Carousel border */
background-color:#333333; /* Background color */
}
.carousel .navButton { cursor:pointer; display:block;
text-indent:-9999px;
background-repeat:none;
z-index:10;
}
.carousel .container {
position:absolute;

}
.carousel .items {
position:absolute; }
#Carousel2 {
height:88px; /* container height */
width:100%; /* container width */
}
#Carousel2 .container {
top:12px;
width:100%; /* container width for the visible images */
height:100px; /* container height for the visible images */
}
#Carousel2 .items { top:0; left:2px;
width:1700px; /* overall width for all the thumbnails */
}

#Carousel2 .item .key { display:none;}
#Carousel2 .item .picture { display:none;}
Note:
Check the comments in green to see which parts you can customize, such as the border and background color of the carousel. Please note that the arrows are images, so if you want to change them, you need to replace the two URLs in blue with those of your images.
If you want to change the size of the container, change the /* container width */ (width of the carousel), the /* container width for the visible images */ (area where the thumbnails are visible) and the /* overall width of the thumbnails container */ value (1700px) which is the container for all the picutres that you added.
Step 6. To save the changes, click the "Save Template" button.
Step 7. Finally, go to "Layout" and click the "Add a Gadget" link. After the pop-up window opens, choose "HTML/Javascript" and paste the html structure of the carousel inside the empty box:
<div id="Carousel2" class="carousel">Note: Replace the text in blue with your links and images URLs. The link URL is optional, so you can add it only if you want to link the images to some posts, for example.
<div class="button navButton previous" style="display:none;">Back</div>
<div class="button navButton next" style="display:none;">Forward</div>

</div>
</div>
</div>
Step 8. Once you added your pics to the carousel, click the "Save" button to save the widget and make it visible on your blog.
If you wish to add more images or remove some, you need to change the width of the thumbnails as well, otherwise some pictures will appear behind the others.
To add more pictures, paste the following code just before the </div> tags in red:
<div class="item">
<div class="key caption">Thumb</div>
<div class="icon">
<a href="link URL"><img width="65" height="65" src="image URL" /></a></div>
<div class="picture"></div>
</div>
