Block settings

admin/build/block
move User login to Right sidebar
move Navigation to Right sidebar
move Powered by Drupal

Create 3 blocks for the home boxes and position them in the homeboxes region

Contact block settings

admin/build/contact
Create a category such as info and input your email address where you want to recieve contact form submissions
set selected to yes
then go to
admin/settings/contact_form_blocks
check your category to be display in a block
and click save
now go to:
admin/build/block/list
and move our newly created Contact form: Info block into the Footer Actions region
configure that block and set the Block title to <none> so that no title is displayed

@TODO Check form id of contact form and update template.php file line 178
function boldy_contact_mail_page_1($form) {
change page number if required
I have had a couple of different id's in the couple of times I have run the instructions so I want to double check if it changes everytime or just can be relied upon to be the same each time a fresh install happens.

Footer Widgets
