I would like to create a block that I can use to house my partner images on the front page of the site.

This is the sample of what I would like to do: http://www.secure-integrations.com/secint/si_layout.jpg

Does anyone have a direction I can use to accomplish this?

I would imagine it is a custom content type, a view but I am not sure what direction to head with images :)

dremeda, I started by making this a lot harder than it needed to be at first too. It turns out it is very simple:

Under Administer -> Site Building -> Blocks you will see a tab for "Add Block." Choose this and fill in the Block Description and Block Title. Then add some simple HTML to place the logs with their associates links much like you would on a static page. You can specify what pages get this block in the section "Show block on specific pages."

Save it and go back to the Blocks page. Enable your new block and choose the region and give it a weight if necessary.

You may have to add some theming to get it to look the way you want.

Hope this works for you.

Chris, thanks.

I am familiar with how to set up regions and blocks, I am trying to accomplish this with not having to code html everytime I want to change an image from within that block. I can hand code html, but what if I need someone else to input the info, it should be as simple as upload image and boom there it is :)

Thanks again,
