Basic mod guidance: Creating content in a shadowblock

I have been reading endless tutorials and how-to's on the general Wordpress flow, creating templates and more stuff than I really need! Have been studying my site and others with Firebug. I'm getting the idea fairly well of the overall flow, but need a helpful push.

I'd like to be able to put content like a clickable image-map or a form in a page but have it inside a shadowblock. I see that existing similar content seems to be wrapped with <div shadowblock_out> and <div shadowblock>

I've got a child theme set up with style.css and functions.php. I've been able to get a shadowblock to appear, but it seems 'out of control' and I haven't been able to get my map.gif to set IN the block.

If I wanted say 3 blocks on a page (most likely the home page), would this be done with 3 divs in the content area, or would I have to create a leftside, content and right sidebar?


Looking for some pointers of what pieces I should be working with... some general direction - or a post where somebody has shown how.
