Layout update XML

Who can help me out with the code for the homepage in Layout update XML.
We use this code, but don’t get the site working complete.
<reference name=”topsl”>
        <block type=”cms/block” name=”position-1″>
    <action method=”setBlockId”><block_id>position-1</block_id></action>
    </block>

    <block type=”cms/block” name=”position-2″>
        <action method=”setBlockId”><block_id>position-2</block_id></action>
    </block>

    <block type=”cms/block” name=”position-3″>
        <action method=”setBlockId”><block_id>position-3</block_id></action>
    </block>

    <block type=”cms/block” name=”position-4″>
        <action method=”setBlockId”><block_id>position-4</block_id></action>
        </block>

        <block type=”cms/block” name=”position-5″>
        <action method=”setBlockId”><block_id>position-5</block_id></action>
    </block>

<reference name=”content”>
<block type=”joomlart_jmproducts/list” name=”home.jmproducts.list” template=”joomlart/jmproducts/list.phtml” >
<block type=”catalog/product_list_toolbar” name=”product_list_toolbar” template=”catalog/product/list/toolbar.phtml”>
<block type=”page/html_pager” name=”product_list_toolbar_pager”/>
</block>

<action method=”setToolbarBlockName”><name>product_list_toolbar</name></action>
</block>
</reference>

</reference>
<!-- Bottom Spotlight -- topsl -->
<reference name=”left”>
    <block type=”catalog/navigation” name=”catalog.leftnav” before=”-” template=”catalog/navigation/left.phtml”/>
</reference>
<reference name=”content”>
    <block type=”joomlart_jmcategorylist/list” name=”jmcategorylist” template=”joomlart/jmcategorylist/list.phtml” />

Dear Ron,
 
There is a mistake with the code you input for Homepage in Layout update XML: http://prntscr.com/4urgfu.
You can use this rule:

<reference name="topsl">
    <block type="cms/block" name="position-1″>
        <action method="setBlockId"><block_id>position-1</block_id></action>
    </block>

    <block type="cms/block" name="position-2″>
        <action method="setBlockId"><block_id>position-2</block_id></action>
    </block>

    <block type="cms/block" name="position-3″>
        <action method="setBlockId"><block_id>position-3</block_id></action>
    </block>

    <block type="cms/block" name="position-4″>
        <action method="setBlockId"><block_id>position-4</block_id></action>
    </block>

    <block type="cms/block" name="position-5″>
        <action method="setBlockId"><block_id>position-5</block_id></action>
    </block>
</reference>

<reference name="content">
    <block type="joomlart_jmproducts/list" name="home.jmproducts.list" template="joomlart/jmproducts/list.phtml" >
        <block type="catalog/product_list_toolbar" name="product_list_toolbar" template="catalog/product/list/toolbar.phtml">
            <block type="page/html_pager" name="product_list_toolbar_pager"/>
        </block>
        <action method="setToolbarBlockName"><name>product_list_toolbar</name></action>
    </block>
    <block type="joomlart_jmcategorylist/list" name="jmcategorylist" template="joomlart/jmcategorylist/list.phtml" />
</reference>


<reference name="left">
    <block type="catalog/navigation" name="catalog.leftnav" before="-" template="catalog/navigation/left.phtml"/>
</reference>

Hope this helps.
 
Cheers,
Seoki Lee

Dear Ron,  
I’ve checked on your site and updated xml for Homepage in Layout update, please check it: http://prntscr.com/4vz9m7.
There are some extensions missing on your site now: BaseTheme, Product Deal and Mega Menu. Thus, your home page can’t load anything. You can download them via link: http://www.ubertheme.com/magento-themes/flannel.
Also, I don’t see static block “position-1″ in your site, please re-check and follow Flannel’s guide in this link to config your site: http://www.ubertheme.com/docs/flannel/.
Regards, Seoki Lee

Hi Ron,
 
Thanks for your information, I’ve checked on your site and I see all our extensions were disabled on your site:
http://awesomescreenshot.com/0693oblzb7
So I helped to enable them.
Also I updated xml and content of your home page via your site’s back-end and I updated static block “position1” to “position-1”.
Please check it.
 
Regards,
Seoki Lee
