No go.
1. I created a content item named "footer" and placed one line of text there.
2. I created a new category "footer" and applied it to the content item.
3. I created a copy of the Newsflash module and selected the "footer" category as source.
4. I attributed the module to user6 position and enabled it.
5. I added the #s5_row2 {background:#003D7A;} line to the template_css.css file and saved it.
Result: I got the text displayed (see
http://pulseorimaging.com/) - but no background displayed.
Assumption: the Newsflash module overrides the template setting.
Question: What tool can I do to place a line of text in this module position?
