Help with side blocks pease

[Phil Dart]

Hi Lynne - thanks for your reply.

The block I'm trying to create is to go in an existing column of blocks on my home page. The controls for that column already exist within Forums & Moderators>Forum Blocks Manager, and I know the column works because there are already one or two blocks in it, both of which I have edited myself without issue.

The side block is on the home page, which is indeed the same page as the existing random images appear, but only because I was hoping to have the side block working before I switch off the existing images. I can do that now though if you think it may be causing a conflict

My version of vB is 4.2.3 - my control panel has a section labelled Plugins & Products. Looking in there I can see Manage Products, and Plugin Manager.

Manage Products shows me no useful information at all, beyond that it is PhotoPost Pro v8.2

Plugin Manager shows me various different options to explore and I've pasted a screenshot of those options below. There is no menu option Hooks Manager, but each of the options in the screenshot shows a hook. I can't identify which would be relevant though, and I'm not entirely certain that any of them are, but that may just be further proof of my total ignorance of the subject.
