I am using Joomla 1.5, so I don't know how much is applicable to 1.0.

First, I see images rotating just fine.  Looks good.  You can add a php
command to show where all your locations are, i.e.
http://www.ednaisd.org/ehs/index.php?tp=1  will show top, left, right, user
1 user2, etc.

It looks to me like your DiaShow is set up to be on the front page.  I would
guess try going into your administrator and creating a new module using that
module type, then assign the header as the position for that module.  My
particular template does not have header as an option.  Actually, I don't
see header as an option on your template, either, unless it is covered up by
something.

There are still plenty of people using Joomla 1.0, and that version is still
discussed in the forums.  Try
http://forum.joomla.org/viewforum.php?f=505&sid=c4b41d2a50334f66d348870bc9f0775f

Or just go to the  main forum page at http://forum.joomla.org/ and scroll
down to
Joomla! Older Version
Support<http://forum.joomla.org/viewforum.php?f=513&sid=c4b41d2a50334f66d348870bc9f0775f>You
should be able to find some help there.

HTH,
