How to dock/layer widgets

No. I understand how to style a skin for the most part. It looks as though they've docked two separate widgets, expert advice and latest buzz, which I assume is recent posts and featured posts. I already have custom quilts, layouts, and css. I mostly understand those concepts but I don't know how to combine widgets/components like that.

I see, apologies for the confusion on my part.

Basically, to do something like that you'd want to take advantage of a JavaScript or jQuery solution.

A helpful page in terms of getting started for setting up the HTML structure as well as the functions can be found on the jquery website - http://docs.jquery.com/UI/Tabs

Using that logic, you could set up a div structure and hide one of the divs until the tab that corresponds with it is selected. On each div, you could either write the code to pull the content you desire to display or you could reference a component within each. In order to reference a custom component within another, check out this guide. I outline the syntax for doing this under the Referencing a component heading.

I hope this is helpful!
