Hi, I have a Drupal 6 installation using a Zen sub-theme, which I am using to do multi-user blogs. I need to add a couple of blocks to the sidebar, one for a simple list of links and one for sponsor ad images, but being something of a newbie I don't know the best way to do this. I imagined it would be trivial, but apparently not. If anyone can point me in the right direction I'll be extremely grateful!
Cheers,
Rik Abel

It rather all depends on
It rather all depends on where the links and ads are going to come from. For just a manually created list of html links, you can simply add a custom block and type the links right into it (at admin/build/block). As for ads, there's quite a few options. For a simple ad block take a look at the http://drupal.org/project/simplead_block module.
With drupal there's almost always many different methods to approaching design requirements, it's best to provide as much detail as possible when posting to the forums.

As a small note i would
As a small note i would recommend you make a custom input format that doesn't have the usual new line filter that even full html has.
I've observed that it sometimes breaks ads.
