Update: The sale for the time saving Magic Content Blocks plugin is live at just $10.00.
***
(Link to test page used in the video above.)
So for example, let’s say you have a well performing ad that you like to insert into lots of posts and pages. (Or it might be an opt in form, or social media buttons, or a disclaimer, or a signature graphic, etc – any standard content.)
What you would do is create your ad using Magic Content Blocks and then you can insert this content block into your posts and pages as you create them.
You do this by selecting the block from a new drop-down selector in the TinyMCE editor which shows all the content blocks you’ve created.
The HUGE benefit of doing it like this is that if you have to change this standard content across your site (maybe you have a better ad, or you want to promote something else), then all you have to do is change your content block ONCE.
It will then cascade across ALL the posts and pages where you’ve used that content block across your entire site.
Isn’t that VERY cool and a massive time saver?
Also included as part of this sale only is a full developer (client / flipper) licence. When the sale is over that licence will be a separate purchase, so this is a great deal allowing you to install the plugin on client sites and on sites you intend to sell for profit.

How is this different from widgets in it?
Hi Mario,
Widgets In It is all about getting widgets working on your posts and pages, and not just in the widgetised areas.
Magic Content Blocks is focussed on creating standard content that you can then easily insert into your posts and pages by selecting from a drop-down. If you take a close look at the video, then the 4 example content blocks I created just before making the video can actually be inserted into any of the posts and pages on the site.
If at a later date I need to change that content (an ad or disclaimer change for example) across all the posts and pages, then all I have to do is edit that one content block and it will auto-update all across the site. It’s a huge time saver. 🙂

That’s what I do with widgets in it as well. I change it on the widgets page and the content on all pages with that widget changes!
Hi Chuck,
That’s what I like to hear, when users of my plugins come up with new and originally unintended ways of using them! 🙂
I think you’ll find that this plugin makes it all a little bit easier. 😉

Nice one Frank! Glad you’re feeling better.
Hi Anne,
Thank you. 🙂
As I write this, I’ve not been feeling too well again this last week which is partly why I’ve been so quiet – it’s that time of year, the kids are back at school and bringing their bugs home. C’est la vie.
I’ve also been using that quiet time to make some new plans for changes I need to make, and there’ll be more news on that soon. 😉

Hi Frank,
Is this included as part of the Creative Gizmos membership? Is there an easy way for us to know which new products are included as part of that membership?
Thanks Frank!

Hi Jit,
It isn’t, and I’ll be making an announcement about CG shortly. 🙁
