Hey, I'm new too drupal but I'm loving it and I love this theme, I think it wonderfull. I know web coding decently, but im more of a C++ and java coder, but I can learn well. By web coding I mean html,xml, some php and css, aswell as javascript.

I've been reading alot on drupal as to how to had a new region so I can drop my blocks there.
I applied this your theme, BlueMaster, and it did not work and by that I mean nothing apears to change when I add the block to the new region which drupal does recognizes.
What Im exacly trying to do, is add a region to the left of the slideshow, and call it menu, hence have a navigation/menu option that will be on the side for ever page not just the front page, but I am not able to do this.

What I am wondering is that does the standard way that druapl says to do it differs from the coding done here? If so, can you link me to a manual/readme doc of some sort so I can learn how, or better yet, walk me through it. I would gladly apreciate it.

Hope to hear from you soon,
Robert

Hello iRobsta

The regions are defined in bluemasters.info using regions[] directives and rendered using the Drupal function render() inside templates.

bluemasters.info

regions[new_region] = New region

Print region inside page--front.tpl.php or page.tpl.php.

<?php print render($page['new_region']); ?>

It is important to see that Bluemasters has two page template files. One for the front page and one for all inside pages.

Finally, you should clear your cache through Configuration->Performance->Clear all caches in order Drupal read your new region.

iRobsta, have you a live instance of your drupal installation?
Also, try to attach here through "File attachments" your page--front.tpl.php, bluemasters.info and your style.css file in order to see your code implementation.

Thanks
