Step 3: Creating 3 new blocks in the Admin Pannel

Open your browser and point to your MDPro installation: http://127.0.0.1/mdpro/index.php , login as Admin, open the Settings Section >> the Blocks link to manage the blocks of the site. The block admin table will appear:

Note there is just a block located in the Area1 position: it's the Karma Module of the default installation.

To add 3 new blocks, click on the Add block or New block link just over the table on the left: that's what appears:

Area1block: Fill in as Block Title: Image block (to remember what it will contain)

Block Type: select Core/HTML from the drop down list

Position: Area1 ; Langauge: All and click the Commit button.

Next page that appears, in the Content text area, insert only a placeholder for now, example: Image here.

Create in the same way the other 2 blocks with following data:

Area2block: Block Title: Small links block (to remember what it will contain)

Block Type: select Core/HTML from the drop down list

Position: Area2 ; Langauge: All and click the Commit button. Content text: Small Links

Area3block: Block Title: Big menu block (to remember what it will contain)

Block Type: select Core/HTML from the drop down list

Position: Area3 ; Langauge: All and click the Commit button. Content text: Big menu block

That's how it looks like, returning to the Theme preview link http://127.0.0.1/mdpro/index.php?theme=ATTest
