Eleven40 Pro: Add a new widget area to the homepage

[ravendesignshop]

I'd like to add a new widget area to the homepage in the eleven40 pro theme and I followed the instructions I found here:

It added the widget area on the "widgets" page in my dashboard, but when I actually try to use the area, nothing appears. Any idea what I might be doing wrong?

Thanks!

"The function above will hook the Home Featured widget are just before the loop, which is at the top of the content area on the homepage."

Did you add all the code to your child themes functions file?

Thanks Brad, that fixed the problem! For some reason part of the code was getting chopped off on the tutorial page - strange. I appreciate the help!
