That helps ... I guess I will need to find another way to deal with the style issues then. I am running a multisite setup with one theme in sites/all/themes, and have created CSS for “block-block-2” (for example) that I want to apply across all sites. In most of the sites, block-block-2 is my right sidebar, but for a couple it’s the center image. I guess because the sites have different combinations of modules, the content of block-block-2 is potentially going to be different for each site? I am not sure how to compensate for this without adding an overriding style sheet for the sites that vary from my setup. I have 45 subsites and it’s getting to be a bit messy.<BR>

Hi Gary,<BR>
<BR>
It's a bit confusing... and different themes deal with it differently. But<BR>
the underlying concept here that you are missing is that a module must be<BR>
responsible for a block. So in the case of "block-block-1" it is the block<BR>
module that is responsible. The menu module (as many other modules) also<BR>
creates blocks. So you might see "block-menu-1". For each controlling<BR>
module, the numbering starts over.<BR>
<BR>
But some themes don't use the "delta" or at least not in certain situations.<BR>
Like I just looked at a site (I think I used Genesis there) where I saw<BR>
"block-menu-nav" where "nav" was the name of the menu. There was no delta.<BR>
And on another site using Zen and Panels I saw a block in a panel get<BR>
"pane-menu-block-1. So now I've confused you. But I think I've gotten you<BR>
over the hump here, conceptually, yes? A module always "owns" a block.<BR>
<BR>
best,<BR>
