HTML Blobs are for the situations where you want to reuse the same piece of html, but across either different pages or different templates. For instance, for the cmsmadesimple.org site, I have the menu and little banners on the left hand side in an html blob. You create the html_blob in the Manager, and then use {html_blob name="blah"} to insert into either a page or template. The nice thing about them is that you can put other tags (such as a menu or module) into them and they still parse correctly.

Hope that clears it up!
