 * Is there anyway to pull a content block into a page or post, so that for the 
   client, using WordPress as their CMS, I could just give them access to the Content
   Blocks area, where they could edit all of, and only the specific areas I have
   set up?
 * Pulling it in via a shortcode would be ideal, but any method would be great really!

 * Excellent idea, I have added the shortcode functionality!
 * Could you please try version 1.8 and let me know if this works for you?

 * That’s brilliant thank you!
 * But what is the shortcode syntax I need to use?!?!

 * works perfectly – but can I suggest you add something in the Content Blocks overview
   that shows the shortcode including the ID for each block?

 * If you click on the Add Content Block icon in the the Upload/Insert area above
   the content editor, you can select the content block you would like to use without
   having to know the ID 🙂
 * Icon:
    [http://twitpic.com/4u75rl](http://twitpic.com/4u75rl)
 * Popup screen with select box:
    [http://twitpic.com/4u75iv](http://twitpic.com/4u75iv)
 * Let me know if that works for you.

 * That is awesome!
 * Had one more idea though…
 * This is now a really useful tool for building a CMS for a client, and it would
   be great if you could organise the Content Blocks in the overview panel – perhaps
   you could group them (and have sub-groups)?
 * You wouldn’t need to use this, but it would be a useful tool to some people including
   me I’m sure!

 * That sounds like quite a challenge but I think there might already be some plugins
   that can help you with this. Maybe the pageMash plugin also works for custom 
   posts? [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/pagemash/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/pagemash/)
 * P.s. It would be brilliant if you could rate my plugin in the plugin directory
   by clicking on the yellow stars on this page: [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/custom-post-widget/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/custom-post-widget/)
