   Hi. I had a question about arranging blocks horizontally. How does one do that? like at the bottom of http://www.modestofamous.com and http://www.observer.com. I’m assuming these two rows of three at least use the views module to list each category, but how are they getting the blocks to arrange in that fashion?

   thanks,blue

   Blue,

   There are a couple of different ways to do this. You could utilize the panels module at http://drupal.org/project/panels. You can also create a page with tables and then add the code to insert a particular block in each cell of the table.

   The second method is what I used to create the front page of http://beta.musicbuggy.com/.

   There is also a new module that makes this easier called Insert Block. http://drupal.org/project/block_tags

   wow, mind some brutal honesty? real time waster - half way through you’ve only read what’s on the page for me… and repeated it ad nauseum. something mildly useful at 5/8 through - creating new blocks: good to understand the ui quirks where you actually have to go through configure twice. whew…. bet a second cut at your screencast would let you add more value per minute

   The basics might be a waste of time for you - but for many of us just starting with Drupal they’re exactly what we need. Good work - I look forward to future installments.

    I disagree with Yikes; this was a good tutorial.

    Thanks very useful, its better to read the documentation with a hole picture in mind.

    Hope you continue posting vids.

    Have to admit that for where I’m at on the learning curve, this vid tute was helpful to watch the process, reinforcing some basics and making distinctions on technique and options.

    Thanks, liked the CCK&Views one as well.
