Static Blocks

Creating a Static Block

1. Log into your Magento store’s admin
2. Navigate to CMS>Static Blocks
3. Click Add New Block in the top right corner
4. Give your block a recognizable Block Title such as Social Media Links or “Fall Sale Banner”
5. Give your block an Identifier which will be used to call the block. Make sure the Identifier is all lowercase and separated by underscores to follow Magento’s nomenclature i.e. your_block_id
6. Choose what store view the block belongs to. Just leave as All Store Views unless you have a good reason not to
7. Set Status to Enabled
8. Enter your HTML in the Content field. The editor is currently a raw HTML editor, but 1.4 will support a WYSIWIG editor.
