<p>WP-Blocks a simple plugin designed to help you edit discrete bits of template content via the WordPress admin interface. A good example would be your sidebar bio, footer copyright notice or a simple events listing. It’s not intended to be tied in with posts and pages like some other plugins.</p>
<p>Here’s what you need to know:</p>
<ul>
<li>WP-Blocks can be accessed via the Settings menu in the WordPress admin (I may move this in time)</li>
<li>The plugin requires PHP5 (apologies to those on PHP4)</li>
<li>I have developed and tested this plugin on WordPress Version 3.0 and above</li>
<li>It “should” work on earlier versions, as far as I know I haven’t used any brand spanking new API calls</li>
<li>Every “block”, whether visible or not will incur a database query so use of a caching plugin is encouraged</li>
</ul>
