Hi Everyone,

I love XOOPS and have setup the site and it's ready to go... But what I'm having some trouble with is that I can't seem to customize what is displayed on the home page very well.

I wouldn't even mind if I could get a news item to display the entire article, but with just a small section showing it just isn't enought for the home page.

Ideally I would like to have an image or two, and some text explaining what the site is about...

Please help me find a way to do this.. I know it must be possible...

Is there a Module that will allow for more control? Perhaps I'm missing a setting?

Thank you very much!

Al

its all in the blocks....

It seems that nearly every module these days comes with its own block; specificly designed to efficiently caption the contents of your domain. These easter eggs, are very affective in funneling your traffic into those dark crevises of your domain. With enough time you will learn to precisely lay your blocks to grab your visitors attention, and will find that taking the time to utilize them will have been worth evey second.

Beyond these bundled blocks, lies the infinite world of custom blocks; capable of displaying absolutely anything. Every block that you place acts as its own gateway to another section of your realm. Often enough, you will see domains that use these blocks in conjunction with html to display custom content neatly bundled withing the framework of the cms we all know and love. Or, they may even use functions such as
