now is a good time to explain how to create custom blocks (sideboxes) that we can then add as new blocks to be drag n’ dropped around…
Anxiously awaiting your explanation! 
The title for Featured Products on the home page is not displaying (actually that’s a blessing). Hoping there will be a way to name blocks and have the title be a property versus a required element. Manytimes titles are not desirable.
Would be wonderful to simply define a block and allow templates to be included and/or html/php so that it opens up the capability of these blocks. The blocks then simply become layout objects.
