Hi all.

I have a frontpage that is created by a view (just for removing the home breadcrumb). I also have a view that is for latest news and lists the most recent items of a custom content type called Latest News.

What I need to do is to place the block created by that latest news view into the actual node content of the front page (not in a sidebar) but themeable and looking like a block (ie. each of my sidebar blocks is a certain width and has background images used). I want to be able to float it to the right so that it will be inline with the rest of the content on the page (much like you might do with an image).

I have CCK, so I tried the viewfield module and it almost did what I needed: it inserted a teaser list into the beginning of my content. However, it was just inserted looking like regular content (not looking like a block), even though I have block selected on my view. Also, the teaser list is inserted regardless of what I have selected (list view or table view for instance).

I also looked at RepTags and to be honest, it only confused me.

Is there a better module for this, or is there a way to easily hardcode? I'd prefer not to hardcode if possible as I'd like to leave the option open to easily add the latest news block to other pages on the site.

Thanks,

Shrill
