Hi there, XOOPS is running perfectly on my new website, but i cannot seem to find the correct block or module to post a welcome message in the main index page?
Motorbike-forum.com
I've tried the news blocks, but they onley show 1 line, and to read the rest you'd have to click on it.

I want a block on the center and top of the page displaying a text to always stay there. ( text like Hello welcome to this and this, hope you enjoy your stay here feel free to...bla bla )

Who can help me, perhaps it is my poor english why i can't find that block?

Second i would like to have 1 or maybe 2 random pictures on my site ( thumbnails) in the right side top and bottom, clickable to view in full size, but when you cklick back, you go back to the main index instead of a picture album what most modules do?

Anny advise on that?
I'm not a PHP wizzard, and n00b, so treat me jentle please :)

Thanks, and guys working on XOOPS keep up the great work.
