how to display custom block on start page

Hi all, sorry for my ignorance here... I'm trying to display a custom block on my start page. I simply want to explain what the site is about and invite people to register for the site. In the general preferences menu, I only have the option to display certain modules for the start page, and the custom block I've built isn't on the list. Help! Perhaps I am trying the wrong method altogether.

When you create you custom block, select "Center Block-Center" from the Block Type, then select "Top Page" from Visible In, set the weight to "0". Next, go to Groups > Anonymous Users, and set the permission as viewable. That should be all you need to do.

Hope this helps.

yay! A question that I can answer:

In your "Admin" | "Blocks" section: Select the anonymous users category from the drop down list. Then create your custom block.

Next go to your Admin | Groups section, and ensure the anonymous user group has access to the custom block you have created.
