I am trying to create a module that has a placement just like the "headlines" slideshow on this site.. I do not know where to paste my module code however..

Code:

$stylevar[htmldoctype]
<html dir="$stylevar[textdirection]" lang="$stylevar[languagecode]" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<if condition="$pages['name'] == 'home'">
	<meta http-equiv="Cache-Control" content="no-cache" />
	<meta http-equiv="Pragma" content="no-cache" />
	<meta http-equiv="Expires" content="0" />
</if>

<title>$vboptions[hometitle] <if condition="$pagetitle">- $pagetitle</if></title>

$headinclude
<if condition="$pages[name]=='home'">

<script type="text/javascript" src="$vboptions[bburl]/vbcover/vbslideshow/vbslideshow.js"></script>
</if>
</head>
<body>

$header

$navbar
<if condition="$show['customizepagelink']">
	<div align="$stylevar[right]" style="padding-top: $stylevar[cellpadding]px; padding-bottom: $stylevar[cellpadding]px">
		<if condition="$show['customizepage']">
			<a href="$show[customizepagelink]">$vbphrase[exit_customization_mode]</a>
		<else />
			<a href="$show[customizepagelink]">$vbphrase[customize_this_page]</a>
		</if>
	</div>
</if>

<table align="center" class="page" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%">
	<tr valign="top">
		<if condition="$show['top_column']">
			<td valign="top">
				$home[topblocks]
			</td>
		</if>
	</tr>
</table>

<table align="center" class="page" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%">
	<tr valign="top">
		<if condition="$show['left_column']">
			<td width="$vba_style[portal_leftcolwidth]"<if condition="$show['center_column'] OR $show['right_column']"> style="padding-$stylevar[right]: $vba_style[portal_colspacing]px"</if>>
				$home[leftblocks]
			</td>
		</if>

		<if condition="$show['center_column']">
			<td valign="top">
				$home[centerblocks]
			</td>
		</if>
		<if condition="$show['right_column']">
			<td valign="top" width="$vba_style[portal_rightcolwidth]"<if condition="$show['center_column'] OR $show['left_column']"> style="padding-$stylevar[left]: $vba_style[portal_colspacing]px"</if>>
				$home[rightblocks]
			</td>
		</if>
	</tr>
</table>

$footer

</body>
</html>

where would I place it so it resembles the same style?

First add the locations in vbadvanced after that add the following code after $navbar and before the if condition. I hardcoded my random image box into the second column, you can simply put another conditional in there though. Also the conditional is around the entire table as I want the entire table to vanish the I don't show the block. Also the width is hardcoded, obviously you can change this to %'s

Code:

<if condition="$show['topleft_column']"><table align="center" class="page" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="950px">
	<tr valign="top">
                 <td width="750">
			<div class="topleftblock">
				$home[topleftblocks]
			</div>
		</td>
<td width="387"></td>
	</tr>
</table></if>
