* 'value' => 'item value', 'class' => 'class-name'), ... etc.). Module names are incorporated

* @ingroup themeable

return $output;
}
?>Finally, after you enable the custom_site_specific.module go to admin/build/block and configure the block settings for 'Custom recent blog posts' by clicking on the 'configure' link. Scroll to the bottom and click the radio button with: Show if the following PHP code returns TRUE (PHP-mode, experts only).
Add the following code to the Pages: section:
if (arg(0) == user && is_numeric(arg(1)) {
return TRUE;
}Enjoy.
