block notices

Could someone please let me know if there is a way to insert notices in a specific template at a custom position? I would love to have control to better tailor them to the design and flow of my community. Thank you in advance for any guidance or suggestions you can provide.

Lots of display options for the Floating Notices but the Block Notices don't seem to have any basic controls on their behavior. Specifically they flip between notices way too fast, and there doesn't seem to be an admin setting for defining delay between "slides". Is this something I'm going...
