I'm afraid that no one will be able to provide you with detailed directions on how to do this. If there isn't already a content pane in the header area of your theme, one will need to be added. The exact steps of how to do this are 100% defined by how the existing theme itself is already put together.

In basic words, though... A content pane or pane in a theme is simply an area defined by the web developer where modules are allowed to be placed by content editors. This is done in the theme files (usually .ascx files) by adding an HTML element that looks like this:

<code>&lt;div id=&quot;MyPaneName&quot; &#114;&#117;nat=&quot;server&quot;&gt;</div> </code>

If you don't already have a pane in the header area of the theme, that code snippet might be able to get you started. DNN automatically sees this and knows to treat it as a pane, simply because it's a theme file with an empty DIV using a runat attribute.

It does not seem to be clear what goal you are achieving. When you want to create a theme, you cant't place a module inside of it. When you want to have a specific module with the same content on every page at the same place, just put it on one page and activate the "Display on all pages" checkbox.

The only thing you can add to a theme (or "skin" as it was called formerly) is a so called Skin Object, which is also an extension that provides a certain functionality (e.g. Login, Breadcrumb, etc.)

Happy DNNing!
