how to add content type and fixed block of content

I would like to define a custom content type. This custom content type would have a fixed block (e.g. a small menu or just some text) added at the bottom.

I can't find a way to add custom content type in CMSMS.

Additionally, I don't see how to add a fixed block, panel, piece of html, whatever it is called. There is a "block=" parameter to "content" tag, but it just enables a sepearate input while adding content. I would like to define the block *globally* - same way as e.g. footer is defined. But footer is simeply defined in a template, while I'd like to define the block outside of template and somehow attach it automatically to "custom content" I mentioned before.

You can define a User Defined Tag (In Extensions menu), and place that in your template.

footers are not typically "defined" in the template. A footer is usually a Global Content Block, which is then called in the template. This allows for more flexibility than if the footer is defined/created directly in the template.
