~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Today I get to show you a sneak peek at SBI!'s new BlockBuilder. I'm going to show you one of the less intuitive blocks... this Container Block over here. Click on any block and drag it over where you want it on the page. I'm going to put this just below the first paragraph. And a Container Block holds multiple blocks together so you don't actually type anything in here. You have to add something else to it, like... we can add an image Block. So I click Browse, select my image from my hard drive, and then I add a name for the Image Library. Then I click Upload. Let me scroll down so you can see this a little better. OK, next I'm going to add a Text Block to this Container Block. And I'll type in my text here. So let's say this is a link to an affiliate program. I can highlight just the text I want to become the link and then go up here to the Text Block toolbar and click on the link button. Then I just type in or, more likely, copy and paste my URL. I'm pretty sure this one doesn't already exist anywhere. And then I name it. I'll just copy and paste the web site name. Then I click "Add this link" and that adds it to the Link Library as well as to the page. Now the handy thing about Container Blocks is that they allow you to move around other blocks or groups of blocks around the page together. So if I click and drag this, I can move it up right under my headline. I can even move it over to my right-hand column. Let's go up to near the top of the right-hand column. Now the even handier thing I can do with Container Blocks (and just about any block on the page) is click this little button up here -- this "Reuse" icon. That allows me to save this whole block of Content, or block of blocks, as a Reusable Block. I'm just going to name it "OrangeKuiceAffiliate" and save it. And then, on future pages of my site, I can take this Reusable Block, add it to the page wherever I want it, and select this particular block of content to add to the page. Pretty nifty, huh? Well, thanks for watching and I hope you're getting as excited as we all are about this release.
