Putting a new block in place of the money-bg location in Analytic

FiskerFans - March 2, 2009 - 00:04

So, I have begun designing my first website with Drupal. I have minor knowledge of CSS/HTML and very minor or PHP (most has been obtained by looking and reading to discover what does what, as i have previously dont minor programming)... But, I am using the Analytic theme, as i like the layout, and attempting to add a block in place of the coin header image. With this block, I would like to place an adsense banner there. however, I am stuck at the first part, making it into a block... I appreciate the help, and have been browsing though these forums for the past 20 hours...

Thanks
Mike B.

administer -> blocks -> add block tab

if pasting javascript into the block you will want to ensure that you have enabled the phpfilter.module in administer -> modules

you will then want to use this php input format to ensure that the javascript isn't stripped by drupal's filters.

IF how i phrased my wording

IF how i phrased my wording is correct, I have done that, but once you add a block, you can not suddenly assign it to an area without a corresponding

aw crap, i just realized i phrased the question all wrong... i need to place a region in place of the money-bg region, and then place a block in it... doh... editing.

crap, i cant edit... well that is what i need to do, i need to create a new region, instead of having money-bg just be an image, i would like to make it a region in which i can place a block so as to allow for an adsense, or other ad to be placed in it...

regions are defined in the .info file of the theme
laid out in page.tpl.php of the theme
styled in the style.css of the theme

the theme developers guide should help in this area.
