   Hey all...

   is it possible to add another hook, just like the thematic_belowheader

   i need one for a custom front page, and there does not seem to be any hooks for pages (hint, hint Ian)

   so i need to create a new hook, which i will use just about the container div of my front-page, this will be used to add some new custom widgets i created.

   thanks in advance...

   Hi,

   there's no need for an extra hook .. is_front_page() is your friend.

   function my_action() {
       if (is_front_page()) {
           <!-- Whatever you want to include here -->
       }
   }
   add_action('anyThematicActionHook', 'my_action'};

   As you can tell from my question, I'm new to Thematic and the whole concept of child themes.

   In your code, Chris, you have "anyThematicActionHook." Looking at the list of hooks, I don't understand how I include something in the "container" or "content" area, above any other page content, posts, etc.

   Thanks in advance. I'll understand this all just yet!

   The action hook i use most of the time to stick things above the content is thematic_belowheader .

   Ya, I saw that one, but I don't want it to be above the sidebar.

   Well, I resorted to installing a plugin that allows me to include PHP in posts/pages. However, I'd really rather be able to hook my PHP component. Again, I'd like it to appear first in the "container" or "content" area so that it's flush with the sidebar.

   Thanks.
