Unfortunately, there isn't a really good beginners manual for layers, but take a look at http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Layers and http://wiki.contextgarden.net/BusinessCard (and maybe even http://www.pragma-ade.com/general/manuals/details.pdf ). I remember struggling because those examples are a bit complicated to start with, but better than nothing. The nice thing with layers is that once you get it, you can adjust everything by millimeter until it sits just right (and just right for your printer, variations in paper feed may make 1-2 mm differences between printers). And as long as you put each block on a layer of its own, you can move it independently, e.g. move the logo 3mm to the right but keep the text blocks where they are.

[NTG-context] [***SPAM***] Simple Context Application to Cards
This is a trivial appliation for Context, but a useful one.
I plan on designed some business cards, but am new to Context.
My idea to to have a logo image in the upper left hand corner, with the company
name to the right of it. This would be two block elements at the top of the
card.
In the middle will be the name, and below that the address, tel, etc.
-- Regarding the two blocks at the top of the card:
Something like the below:
logo here Company name here
.--.

| o XYZ Printing Company |
| o |This top area is the subject of
this mail.
| oCard Design & Services|
.
| |
| |
|First_Name Last_Name | All this below the ... line is
done.
| |
| contact information|

'--'
I take this as two blocks aligned horizontally on the 91mm x 55mm card stock.
>From my reading the Context options for doing this are:
The margins are so small that using
\inmarge{\externalfigure[company-logo][width=\marginwidth] } can not work.
Which option should I pursue?
a.) \startcombination ... \externalfigure + text block \stopcombination
a.) \placefigurehere[... force]
\startcombination ... \externalfigure + text block \stopcombination
c.) \startfiguretext ... \stopfiguretext
d.) some other Context mechanism.
Any advice is appreciated.
Thanks
