What are Global Content Blocks?

[banter]

I have seen this term being used on other parts of the forum and can't work out what it means

"Global Content Block" or GCB or as it used to be called "HTML Blobs" are little blobs of HTML code that you can re-use in your templates, and pages without having to copy text all over the place. or {global_content name='Name of Global Content Block'} or {html_blob name='stuff'} in older CMSMS versions like 0.12

Thank you for such a quick reply!

That sounds very helpful.

I've just realised now where to create them in the admin panel, they are very useful and appear easy to use. Thanks again!
