[support] Block Styles

[sander-martijn]

You can use either of those options.  the css should go in style.css in 
your theme folder and the best way to find out the name is to simply 
view source.  You probably want to do whatever you can in css before 
messing with the template route.

As for using the template route, what you're finding on page 120 is what 
you need.  The modulename would be the name of the module you're using. 
  If you're using the standard menu system I think it will be 
block-menu.tpl.php or block-menu-1.tpl.php or something along those 
lines.  Then there is also the option of the region as listed - 
block-left.tpl.php would target the left region.
