Drupal lets you create dynamic and engaging content experiences through Custom blocks.

• Custom Blocks: These are reusable content snippets you can place in specific areas of your website's layout, called "regions." Imagine them like pre-built Lego bricks. You can create a block displaying "Latest News" or a "Featured Product" carousel. These blocks are easy to manage and can be reused across different pages.

  Creating a custom block.

• Access Block Layout: Navigate to Structure -> Block layout in your Drupal admin.
• Add Custom Block: Click the "Add custom block" button.
• Configure Block:
  • Label: Give your block a descriptive name.
  • Body: Enter the content for your block (text, HTML, or embed code).
  • Visibility: Determine where the block should appear (all pages, specific paths, etc.).
• Place Block: Once saved, you can drag and drop the block to desired regions of your theme.
• Save Configuration: Save the block layout to apply changes.

Views are like custom queries that pull information from your Drupal content. Think of them as data filters. You can create a view to display a list of "Upcoming Events" or a "Blog Post Archive" sorted by date. Views offer flexibility in displaying and filtering content based on your needs.

Creating views

Access Views: Navigate to Structure -> Views in your Drupal admin.

Add a new view: Click the "Add new view" button.

Basic information: Provide a name for your view, choose the content type to display, and decide if you want to create a page or a block.
