Blocks are the boxes of content (such as "Find a Wishlist" or "IndieBound Next List") that can be displayed in regions (such as header or sidebar) and be set to display on all or specific pages. Blocks can be composed of text, images, links, and other standard HTML. They can also be used to embed codes for widgets from outside sources like YouTube or Facebook.
Though we provide some blocks automatically, blocks are also made available to your site by enabling modules and creating your own. Once created, a Block can be modified to adjust its position and placement on your website pages, to determine which pages it is displayed on, who may view it and whether or not a user can adjust its visibility.
Items that can be found as blocks are listed below:
