There's an extended version of the static pages plugin that lets you use PHP in static pages. You can download it from http://www.mediaaustralia.com.au/geek/public_html/ Alternatively, you could hack index.php and hard-code a block there that shows up just above the stories. A good place would be after the line that reads $display .= COM_showMessage($HTTP_GET_VARS['msg']); you can then just add $display .= COM_startBlock ("My Block"; $display .= "Whatever you want"; $display .= COM_endBlock (); (untested but should work) bye, Dirk
