Author Message Stanw Posted: 11/1/2009 Quote message  I want to create additional blocks (not sure if that is what they are called?) under the Layout option. I am referring to additional areas I can store stuff, similar to the Search Position, Categories Position and Archive Position. How can I create additional generic ones that I can later add images or something else to? Thanks!   Dave Porter Posted: 11/1/2009 Quote message  Hi Stan, The answer to a lot of beginner questions are really WordPress related not Artisteer. All Artisteer does is create a theme ( which is the look and feel of your website ). As I answered in the other thread, the vast majority of your customizatons are done in the Wordpress admin back end. Plugins add functionality to you site & Widgets are used to add elements to your sidebar(s). Check out the WordPress Codex documentation pages - there is a lot of great information there... Here is the link to the main codex page: http://codex.wordpress.org/Main_Page And here is the info on Widgets: http://codex.wordpress.org/Plugins/WordPress_Widgets HTH Dave   Garry Posted: 11/2/2009 Quote message  Just go to widgets and add new widgets of your choice from your wordpress admin as Dave said, and they'll start showing on your sidebars as blocks.   Stanw Posted: 11/4/2009 Quote message  I want to design the look-and-feel of the blocks that will appear on the right side of my pages, though I do not necessarily need a "search," "Categories," "links" or "archives" blocks. How should I design it in Artisteer with the goal of just designing the look of it so I can add whichever blocks I want when the theme is installed on my server? Thanks!!!   Dave Porter Posted: 11/4/2009 Quote message  Hi Stan, The answers that Garry and I provided still stand... You do this in your Wordpress admin - so you decide what appears in your sidebar(s) by dragging them on/off the sidebar in the widgets section. Just try it, it is dead easy ! cheers Dave
