Types of Content Blocks

Plain Content Block

  • A Plain Content Block, is used to insert general content onto your page, which you would otherwise normally enter via the Content Editor. The reason you would use a Content Block for this content, is to have it appear on your page below, or amongst other Content Blocks. 
  • Below is an example of a Plain Content Block.
