hi, does anyone know if u can call a block or module's content and put it where you want?

ie. rather than using a template, just calling data from a web page?

i want to call the articles, but i don't want to put it on the left, center, or right. i want it to be where i want.

the variables i see are just the ones that call all the left, center, and right content. i just want to call a specific block. are they marked by id?

thanks.
