    • Just as an idea...
      K2 extension would be great on that page, you could have a detailed description and images of upcoming events, and have an events calendar that highlites dates with events and links to the events details.
      Its very easy to do with K2 and K2 tools
      See this example (the calendar shows today and an event on the 13th of oct)
      72.29.71.247/~suag/index.php?option=com_...ut=category&Itemid=2

      Also... Their is a great Google Maps extension which could be used on the "how to find us" page.
      It even allows a google map with directions!
      see this demo:
      72.29.71.247/~suag/index.php?option=com_...cotch-piper&Itemid=2
      Ive used it HERE

      if i use the code .mod_placehere {min-height: 200px;}

    • wherever you have the mod_placehere class.
      Its based on min-height not fixed height so if the module is taller then it wont be effected.
      It will just make any modules that have a mod_placehere class a minimum of 200px height.

      Try adding it to your css, see if it changes anything else, if it does then just remove it from your template.css again and it will all go back to as it is now.
      At a quick glance, all of your other modules look greater than 200px in height anyway :)

    • If you struggle at all with your CSS then i would reccomend FIREBUG for FireFox.
      It allows you to test/view/edit CSS out on your site without actually applying it :D
      Thats how i tested the above css on your website well worth a download.
      Also handy for inspecting how others have created css effects etc...

      just install it into firefox and right click an item and select "Inspect Element" then you can edit the css and test code out.
