Hi
I have been trying to create a new custom block with the drupal bluemasters theme. I managed to achieve what i wanted with the block style i wanted and all was well. However on creating the new block this inadvertantly deleted the home block 1 region.
My aim is to create a new block the width of the slide show but still have the 3 small blocks home 1 2 & 3 underneath.
I am not sure if this is a bug or a feature request for an extra block, all i know is i got everything i wanted to create to work fine but lost a block i wanted to keep.
I have attached a screen shot of what i am trying to achieve.
Any advice would be great
Thankyou.

Quadders commentedFixed it myself
This is how i added the extra block i wanted.
first off in the bluemasters info file i added the region
regions[mission] = mission between the highlighted and content region.
Then i added the following code to the page--front.tpl.php file
if ($page['mission']):print render($page['mission']);endif;Finally i added the following css to the style.css file to match the rest of the blocks. I had to add this after the home blocks area but before the footer area started.
/*
* mission
*/
#mission .region-mission { background:url(images/home-block-header-bg.png) repeat-x top; repeat-x top; padding-bottom:20px; }
.mission .block { width: 950px; float:left; }
#mission .block { background:url(images/home-block-header-bg.png) repeat-x top; padding-bottom:20px; }
#mission .block h2 { height: 36px; font-size:20px; font-weight:bold; color:#ffffff; margin:0; padding:10px 0 0 20px; }
#mission .region-mission .block h2 { background:url(images/icons/man-icon.png) no-repeat 13px 10px; padding:10px 0 0 49px; }
#mission .block .content { background:url(images/sectionbg.png); padding:20px; display:block; overflow:hidden;
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Sans Serif; font-size: 14px; color: #ffffff; }
Don't forget to clear all sites cache once you upload all the new files.
I think all the coding is correct and did try to include a screen shot but it won't let me. :|
Thanks
