Do you want the two modules shown on the same page?

If not it sounds like you are describing two sections.

You're right.

The default data has:

        slashHead
        topic bar
        navbar

        center

        navbar
        slashFoot

blocks, you can do it right from the block admin.

Got different ad zones?
I guess you could do away with the header file and have everything in the
index template if you edit html in a wysiwyg editor.
