I created a subtheme of Zen and even though the .info file shows regions[page_top] = Page top
as an option and uncommented, I cannot use this region.
In the blocks page, this page_top region is not an option within the drop-down menus.
-I have refreshed the theme registry
-I even enabled Zen as my default theme to check if the issue was with my custom theme, even with Zen enabled I do not have that region as an option.
-As a sanity check I tried commenting out other regions in the .info file to see if they disappeared from the blocks admin page, and they do.
Is page_top really a region?
On the html.tpl.php file included with Zen, $page_top is listed as a variable, is this just a variable with the same name use for a different purpose or is it the actual region?
On the Zen page.tpl.php, page_top isn't even listed?????
