This is way basic, so shouldnt be too hard to answer.
I made a bunch of pages, and I made a couple of navbars.
The problem is - I cant figure out how to get the navbars to show up on my pages, so they are all hooked together.
It's supposed to work off of blocks, but I'm having trouble getting the navbars into the blocks, and then getting the blocks onto the pages.
Some of this may be due to the template, also. I want to design a custom header, for instance, but some of the templates dont seem to support certain types of blocks. Am I right?
What to do?
Any help much appreciated!

To answer your question
To answer your question directly, a template should be able print all types of block (if by type you mean what is in the block) though for a custom block you do sometimes need to add variables to your template.php file, and for any block which comes with its own CSS you may need to override the css which the block includes by default to control the appearance of the site.
Templates do not all support the same set of regions so if by 'type' of block you mean where it appears, that is dependent on the templates you use.
It is not clear whether you using a standard theme or adapting an existing theme or writing your own theme. It is probably a good idea to read the documentation http://drupal.org/documentation/theme and once you are up to speed with all those tutorials and documents, post more specific and precise questions in the theme developement forum.
