I used to be able to create a custom module position. Is that still possible and where in the tutorials do I find the info on how to set one up. I can't find it and I can't remember how to do that any more.
Thanks

   Hi Jessica,

   To see the module positions available on your website add ?tp=1 to your URL. This will outline all of the available positions so you can determine where you want to put your custom HTML module.

   Once you've decided how to do this, go to Extensions>Module Manager. Click new (green button on upper right), then choose custom HTML. Once the screen refreshes, name your module with a meaningful title and then choose the module position - this would be based on the location you liked when looking at your site with the ?tp=1 enabled. Add content through the editor and enable the module. Click save and you'll see it appear on the website.

   For more in-depth reading on modules check out this tutorial: http://www.simplweb.com/beginner-lessons/17-lesson-1c-customizing-y...

   All the best,

   Dawn

   Thank you! That's a cool trick. I was not sure for some of the templates
   where the modules would show. Now I know!
