Would like to put our categories on the side of the page on my shopping cart but was not able to find anywhere on the blocks area to do that.
Is there a way to do this with the new 3.x.x version of the shopping cart?
You can try to use other template like 'Dropdown vertical'.

The only thing that vertical drop down does is still put the block in the center of the page and just basically puts a drop down in text straight down the page
Then you need to create a left side grid. Put the menu block inside that grid.

Well i dont know if Im doing it wrong but it doesnt seem to work.
Im under the homepage tab in Blocks
I click on create a new grid.
Width: 16
Content Alignment: left
Prefix: 0
Suffix: 0
User-defined css-class: blank
I have done this on many sites. One example is http://www.affordabletanninglotion.com
Create your grid. Add a Menu Block
Change the Block to use Dropdown Vertical template
Click on Content to add your Categories. I generally use Full Tree to show all categories.

I'm not understanding this but when I do add that side left block, I add a products block next to it.
On my computer the images are scrunched up.
On 2 other computers I viewed the site on the block is underneath the category list.
Any idea what is going on?

It appears that you have both blocks in a 16 -column grid, presumably without any CSS modifications. Click on the + in the grid (not the blocks) and add 4-col grid (full-with) and 12-col grid (full-width) to the 16-col grid.
Then drag your main content to the 12-col grid and your sidebox to the 4-col grid.

This new design with the cs cart blocks is a little confusing lol
Update:
AH I get it now.
Each grid is made up of 16 columns.
If i want two next to each other in one grid, I just make two new grids and split them up that equal the 16 columns.
And I can do this with 3 or 4 if I wanted to correct?
You're right on time now.
That means yes. You can do with 5 presumably. Just make them add up to 16-cols or less…
