| So I have bought SteelDawn and I love the theme. However I was searching through the other themes, and I noticed that "wow5" has 3 blocks across the top of the news area. Amazing Idea something I have wanted to do in Nuke for a long time, however I am stumped on how this was acomplished. Would you mind telling me how I can create the same effect in steeldawn? |

You would basically have to make copies of centerblock.html and call them area1block.html, area2block.html, and area3block.html
Then you would go into:
Autotheme admin
Themes
Edit Steeldawn
custom pages
*HomePage
Set Area1 through 3 to Visible
Save
Then repeat steps 1 to 5 but then go to Block Control
And assign the blocks to area1, area2, and area3 |

| I must be missing something here, I copied centerblock.html and renamed it to area1block.html, area2block.html, and area3block.html. I uploaded these to the server. I edited steeldawn homepage and added the three areas there and clicked save, I tell blocks to go into the areas but they do not show up. Does this have to be specifically written into the theme.php or where? |

WoW 5 doesn't use actual blocks for this, they are just images in that theme.
Sorry for the late replies, I actually didn't see this thread for some reason.
What layout issues are you having? |

Well the news section keeps scrunching up to the right of my three blocks. For the life of me I can not figure out how to make the news behave and be flat like it should.
Code:
<tr>
<td width="180" align="center" valign="top"><!-- [left-blocks] --></td>
<td align="center" valign="top"><!-- [area1-blocks] --></td>
<td align="center" valign="top"><!-- [area2-blocks] --></td>
<td align="center" valign="top"><!-- [area3-blocks] --></td>
<td align="center" valign="top"><!-- [center-blocks] --><!-- [modules] --></td>
<td width="180" align="center" valign="top"><!-- [right-blocks] --></td>
</tr>

Do you think you can see where I am screwing up? |

You will have to use a table for this, try this code.
Code:
<tr>
<td width="180" align="center" valign="top"><!-- [left-blocks] --></td>
<td align="center" valign="top">
<table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" align="center" border="0">
<tr>
<td align="center" valign="top"><!-- [area1-blocks] --></td>
<td align="center" valign="top"><!-- [area2-blocks] --></td>
<td align="center" valign="top"><!-- [area3-blocks] --></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="center" valign="top" colspan="3"><!-- [center-blocks] --><!-- [modules] --></td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
<td width="180" align="center" valign="top"><!-- [right-blocks] --></td>
</tr>
