How can I add a custom block to the content region so it is being showed before the actual content, rather than after it?

learning this as well
your post wasn't very clear - as to what you want to move up on the node - but I'm going to guess you mean terms and Submitted by stuff
this might not be all that helpful, but I'm learning this as well - and I'll tell what I do, it might be the long way to OZ, but I learn along the way too.
1) the theme you are using is determing this
2) find a theme that does it the way you want
3) then compare the two, when you find the $terms stuff - you're in the right spot.
4) node.template.pho - is generally the file you want (in the theme you are using)
good luck - sorry I didn't have a magic wand answer.

Edit page.tpl.php
This can be accomplished by editing the page.tpl.php. Create the block but, do not enable it, add the following code to your page.tpl.php. (18 is the number of the block so, you need to find out the number of the block you have created)
<div align="center"><?php
$block = module_invoke('block', 'block', 'view', '18');
print $block['content'];
?></div>
I can't find the url right now but, the code is in the Handbook.
woo hoo
Yep that's true. Even if you assign a light weight of -10 to the block, in the content region, it will still sink to the bottom, after the "content". Thanks for the tip, gonefishing.
Thank you!!! good to know...

I used the page.tpl.php because I wanted the block to appear on every page. The same bit of code can be added to node.tpl.php.
This worked, but it really
This worked, but it really should be cleaner from the theme.
Thanks.
New region
You could alternatively add a new region to your theme:

I must be a real dummy cause
I must be a real dummy cause it doesnt work for me. I've tried in page.tpl and node.tpl and in either case my block keeps on being stuck at the bottom of my content.
