Thanks, started again with this and uploaded as described (took a bit of fiddling as lots of duplicates after my fiddling!) to admin folder in store, I'm on the previous version, too complicated for me to update right now until I learn more about zencart. So now have the news in tools section, have written a post but it is not showing - have published it. I have the details in layout settings and layout boxes controller (and have switched on). Any idea? Sorry to keep on at this, it's annoying to me that it takes so long, I'm just helping out a friend - give me back the wordpress plug-ins!
