Hi

i have been using Mambo/Joomla for my previous websites.

I want to know if its possible to create Blocks which can be displayed at different places on the main page and each one having its own Content.


1). Display Small Blocks which should be arranged in any order in the website.
For e.g. left column, right column, Center and inside the main Center Block i need (Center - Center ) , (Center - Left) and (Center -Right ) etc. etc.

2). Display any content from any module in those Blocks.
For e.g. I need to display the Content of Category " Computers" into the Block which is in the Center - Left of the main Center Block.


Site Structure
-------------------
Home
-Computers
-Software
-Anitvirus
-Hardware



=============================
Title: Block for Hardware News
=============================
Content from Hardware Category, its articles etc.
Content from Hardware Category, its articles etc.
Content from Hardware Category, its articles etc.
Content from Hardware Category, its articles etc.
=============================



For e.g.

---------------------------------
Block - News Computers|
----------------------------------
Content for comptuers
Content for comptuers
Content for comptuers
--------------------------------


--------------------------------
Block - News Hardware|
--------------------------------
Content for Hardware
Content for Hardware
Content for Hardware
-------------------------------

I want to display the Content of a Specific Category in that Block.

Say: Display the "Latest 5 Artilces" from the category " Computers"

You can get an idea from the New Website as they displayed certain content in differeny blocks in the different part of its Main Block in the middle.
