First I would like to thank anyone and everyone that might advise me on this problem. I am new at DNN, and I'm not sure how this occurred. At this point, I have no clue what to do. Below is the background and problem identified, I also included screen shot links to show what I am seeing and the actual code for the ascx and css file, for better understanding of the issue. Please let me know if more is needed.
I have a skin that i have created with (toppane, contentpane,rightpane, and footerpane)
I began the tutorial on the Blog module and noticed that the layout view on the site no longer shows the blocks created (noted above).
But when i go to any other page in the site, the only block that is outlined and identified is the contentpane.
See screen shot http://www.frustrated-inc.com/_backup/page view.jpg
The other panes show the content placed inside them (toppane (title/logo) /rightpane (dnn search) /footerpane (footer content) but no longer outline or identification of the block name as with the contentpane.
As I went through the Blog tutorial, I added the blog module inside the contentpane, and attempted to move some the items to the
rightpane, but i am no longer given that option in the move menu - only list (move down/bottom or contentpane) this is consistant through all pages. Only under admin layout shows the correct block elements and their location.
I went back to the ascx file, and nothing has changed that I can identify.
The following is the information contained in the ascx file:
