In addition to the primary content area on your site which displays articles, you have several module positions available to display information.

A module position is a designated space in which you can put content. Module positions are generally smaller spaces suitable for advertisements or announcements. The module positions on your site might be similiar to that shown below.

When there is no content in any one module position, the position collapses freeing space for main page content or other modules. To add module and position it:

Login to your administration site

From the control panel and the horizontal menu bar at the top, choose Extensions < Module Manager

• Click the 'New' Button You will see that there are a number of module types you can choose from some of the module types are formatted for specific components like polls or Newsfeeds. Other modules perform specific functions. Mouse over each one for a description of the module type.
• If you wish to create a custom module in which you can insert text, an image or html code, choose the module type, Custom HTML
• Type in a name for the module
• Choose yes or no to show the title of your module
• Choose the position in which the module will display.  
• In the text box below, type in the text or insert the image by clicking on the insert image icon at the bottom left of the text box. This will display all the images from those you have previously uploaded into the Stories folder of the media manager (see instructions for uploading images to the media manager).  You may also browse your computer for images.  Be sure to check the size of the image before uploading.  If the image is too large for the module space, it will not display properly.
• Click the 'Save' button on the top right.
