Problem with implementing new blocks

Hi there,

Great software you've built here, thanks kindly!

Just a bit of a problem though... We're working on customizing the site's template to use a number of includes we're using in other areas of the site.

I've created the custom blocks in the admin section and set them up to call these includes, but no matter what I seem to do, the blocks always show at the very start of the page... ie before the doctype declaration.

For instance, I've added a new block called FOOTER in the admin section, added the code !FOOTER! to the end of the page but again, it always show before the existing template code.

Any ideas here on what I'm doing wrong?

First of all, there is a built-in block with id FOOTER, so you should not give the same id to your one.
As for your question, did you saw this tutorial? I think it can be helpful in your situation... If not, please email me more details about the blocks you are adding and how you do that.
