in a block?
For example I'd like to have a picture in user3 block just like there's one on the demo page of newsflash theme (if you look on the right - it's a picture with three overlapping styles) - http://demo.roopletheme.com/. How do I add a picture file to the block?
Do I have to use views module?

by the way - newsflash is an awesome theme! great job
thanks very much

On the demo sites I use simple HTML in my block code to display images. For example, the block that you mention looks like this:

<a href="#" title="Select from 3 Styles!"><img src="/images/NewsFlashStyles.png" id="newsflashstyles" /></a>
<div class="wrap">NewsFlash comes with three great looking built-in color styles. And switching between color styles is easy thanks to the theme configuration form. Just select a color from the drop-down menu, click Save, and the new color is instantly activated. You can even have a separate site logo for each color style!</div>

You'll need to change the input format to full HTML.

So the text and the image are all in one block - block user2 I would presume?
However, I could still separate them by adding user3 block - and putting the text in user2 block and the image in user3. Then I would get almost the same layout you got, right?
btw do you just use photoshop to stack them up?

last question - what determines the height of user1,2,3 regions? If I'm correct, the width of the page is evenly split. What about the height?

thanks a bunch for prompt answers!

Yep, you could split the image and text into different regions side-by-side, mix them in the same block, etc. We have them in the same block in this example.

I use Adobe Fireworks for most of my graphics work. I use PhotoShop when a client requires it, but I prefer Fireworks for this type of work. My standard rule is: if I'm going to print it, use Photoshop. Otherwise, use Fireworks.

The height of almost any Drupal region is determined by the content itself. Publish a block with one paragraph of text and that block will be 'tall' enough to contain the paragraph. Add more text and the height will grow to accomodate the content.
