I like quotes module but I don't understand how to place it to my satisfaction.

I want to make the random quotes block go to the RIGHT of my main site banner and AT THE SAME HEIGHT AS my main site banner.

My main site banner appears by means of another block with an image in it.

I tried making them the same weight but one appears above the other. I want them to appear side-by-side.

I'm guessing this has something to do with css and floating???

I read this in the readme...


The display of quotes is themeable using two functions,
theme_quotes_quote() which displays a single quote/author and
theme_quotes_page() which displays a list of quotes. The default
implementation of theme_quotes_quote() uses two CSS classes to allow
you to control the display of quotes. The quote itself uses
"quotes-quote". The author/attribution uses "quotes-author".

... but to be honest I couldn't understand it. How do I "use" the "function" theme_quotes_quote? Is this a file I have to open. And how do I use CSS classes with this? Do I have to open the theme's CSS sheet (what if there's more than one?) and type stuff in???

Thanks for any help.

Oh - by the way I'm using Drupal 5.7
Also - I've been forced by this form to say what version I have of the module - but I DON'T KNOW!!! but I installed it pretty recently - last week or so. So I chose 5.x-1.2 for this form cos that was the most recent number I saw in the changelog but then the readme says "$Id: README.txt,v 1.6 2007/02/14 15:28:35 jhriggs Exp $" - so I DON'T KNOW!!! This Drupal can be so hard sometimes!

Placement of blocks is controlled by the site's theme. A block goes into a "region" which is defined by the theme. There are numerous posts in the forums and handbooks that explain how to hack you theme to place a block somewhere other than the predefined regions.

Alternatively, contact your theme's maintainer and ask for additional help.

To find the version you're using, go to the Modules admin page (admin/build/modules) and it will show you. Also, if you have Update Status, it will tell you. If you want to look at the $Id$ lines (actually a good idea), the one on the quotes.module file is the best one to check.
