OK, I am getting back to this point now after letting it ride - now it has 
risen to the top of the to -o list....

I have a section called "Support." The only template associated with that 
is called "SectionIndex;misc;Support". I modified the "index;index;default" 
template to call the "SectionIndex" where I think the original called 
mainIndex or something like that. This all works well and good.

But what I notice is that the main site page has all the right hand side 
blocks and the Support section does not.

I tried Nathan's advice above and from the admin/blocks interface created 2 
blocks (both static) in the "Support" section:

1 - Support_more
2- freshmeat_more

I added some random content to the Support_more block. I am guessing for 
now (correct me if  am wrong) that the freshmeat_more would have content 
filled automatically via portald.

I set the number of stories to display on the Support section to 1, since I 
am just configuring this site and there is not much content.  I submitted 
3-4 stories to the Support section successfully.

The goal is to get the 2 boxes to appear on the right, but none of this 
seems to have made any difference. I can't find any additional 
documentation in the FAQ at all.

So far someone has quickly stepped up with the answer for my questions - I 
hope this time is no different!

Thanks!
