Creating a Custom HTML Module

As you’ve seen, modules do many things, but sometimes all you want is a little text or HTML code on your site outside of the main content area. That’s the perfect use of a custom HTML module. This module allows to you paste any text, images, or HTML you want and have it show up in a module position. To create a custom HTML module:

1. Go to Extensions→Module Manager and click the New button in the top toolbar (see Figure 9-6).
