Beamerposter heading

Question

I have awfully lot of troubles trying to make just a simple centered heading using beamerposter package. I am totally lost. Could you please provide any minimal working example?

Of course, I've been at simple examples like in here and have read questions like this one but I still don't get it. It seem to me that without an undecypherable *.sty it just doesn't work. Am I missing a simple solution?

Note: I've tried the answer from this question but it didn't work for me. Maybe if there could be something without mwe?

Answer 1

Here's a simple example; the textpos package was used to place the blocks at desired locations:

\documentclass{beamer}
\usetheme{Frankfurt}
\usepackage[orientation=landscape,size=a0,scale=1.4,debug]{beamerposter}
\usepackage[absolute,overlay]{textpos}
\setlength{\TPHorizModule}{1cm}
\setlength{\TPVertModule}{1cm}


\title[A simple poster]{An example of the \texttt{beamerposter} package}
\author{The Author}
\institute{Thye Institute}
\date{\today}

\begin{document}

\begin{frame}[t]
\begin{textblock}{110}(5,3)
\centering
\maketitle
\end{textblock}

\begin{textblock}{110}(5,20)
\begin{block}{A test block}
Some test text.
\end{block}
\end{textblock}

\begin{textblock}{110}(5,25)
\begin{columns}
\column{.32\textwidth}
\begin{block}{A test block}
Some test text.
\end{block}
\column{.32\textwidth}
\begin{alertblock}{A test alert block}
Some test text.
\end{alertblock}
\column{.32\textwidth}
\begin{exampleblock}{A test example block}
Some test text.
\end{exampleblock}
\end{columns}
\end{textblock}

\end{frame}

\end{document}
