Trouble hooking blocks with theme templates So I am making blocks and viewing the page source when they're displayed, and for instance one has the id="block-views-first-row-footer-links-block"

so I make templates called the following: none will work(yes I am clearing the cache)...I am using drupal 7.12

block--views-first-row-footer-links.tpl.php

block--first-row-footer-links.tpl.php

block--footer-links.tpl.php

what am I doing wrong here?
There is a easier way to do this using Block theme. But in case you do not want to use it, you can create block template files in the following order.

block--module--delta.tpl.php

block--module.tpl.php

block--region.tpl.php
