Looks like you forgot to include the content divs and you commented out the area that would display the images:


Try this:

Thanks I got it working. Now I have several questions is there a way to center the images and spread the image spacing because they are so close together?

first: add the following to your stylesheet.css

#logosidebox{
margin: 0em;
margin-top: 1.5em;
border:none;
}

#logosideboxContent {
text-align:center;
}

#logosideboxHeading{
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}

second: add additional <br /> to the following in tpl_logo_sidebox.php:

$content .= '<br />' . $logoimage1;
$content .= '<br />br />' . $logoimage2;

Can it be anywhere in the stylesheet or a specific spot?
