Blocks

Blocks, or widgets, are containers that display various items on your site. Many blocks can be arranged however you would like. Some blocks can be placed on any page of the site. Other blocks, however, can only be placed on specific pages. For example, a profile custom field is made specifically for the user profile page. You can arrange it on that page, but cannot place it on other pages because it contains data that pertains to the user being viewed.

In order to work with blocks, when in the ACP, navigate to Appearance >> Blocks

When working with blocks, always clear your site cache after in order for your changes to show.
