Anyway...my problem...please take a look at:

http://www.excal-test.co.uk/index.php

I'm a web an old fashioned web designer who is just making the transition to tableless sites and what I really would like to know is...how can I add a small extra content section directly underneath the menu?

I'm guessing I would have to add a extra DIV in my template stylesheet but truth be told...I dont really know. 

If anyone could help I would really appreciate it.

Thanks, Debra.

You have a number of options here:
This is assuming you are using the Bulletmenu Vert 1 col template
in Admin go to "Layouts - templates - Bulletmenu Vert 1 col"

1. in your template in the area just before the add a global content block. (Create the global content block first)This would result in the same content below the menu in all pages.

2. in your template in the area just before the add {content block="belowmenu"} this will give you a content block that can be changed for each page you create using that template. When you start a page with this template selected you will see two content blocks to add content to - the belowmenu block and the main content block.

3. you could add hardcoded html in the same spot on your template.

you have this in your template;

 
 
        You are here: Home
 
 

 

 
 

     
     
        Navigation
          some menu

     
     
     

you could put it here, which in your page will put it below the menu and next to the content as in;
       
        nother Blurb
        {content block='block1'}
     
of course you will have to style it in the CSS,,  div#content2{style:? style:? style:?}

     
     

when you go to edit your page you will have a new content edit box it will say  Block1:

    mark
Edit: sorry misread what you were looking for 

Thank you Mark and Greg!

Your explanations you gave were really helpful.

Thanks again. Debra.
