What about creating a new content block. How is it defined? Can I add a content block as a Custom Layout Update as I only need it included on one page?

Step 3: Populating structural block We have the block properly placed, but unfortunately nothing is new on the frontsite. Let’s populate the new block with something. We will put new products block there as an example. Go to appropriate layout XML file and add this block to appropriate place. i have put this on catalog.xml ok? But i don't know the line, i think that is: catalog_seo_searchterm_popular> page/1column.phtml

Hello Janis, As I wrote at the beginning of the article, I advise you to read Designers Guide to Magento. Most of your questions are explained there. I hope it helps. Let me know if you have questions after you analyze the guide.

missing:
“…how can I conclude that contents of the “left” block (which is left column in a template) from the “page.xml”…”

Step3: “..Go to appropriate layout XML file and add this block..”
Thank you Tomislav, but what would be an “appropiate” XML temlate file, in this case?
Could you please explain it?
I came here from this post: http://www.magentocommerce.com/boards/viewthread/8085/, and still can’t grasp the logic.
What would be really great, is to understand how can I conclude that contents of the “” from the “page.xml”, is defined precisely in “catalog.xml” file and nowhere else?

ps
Nice blog, keep it going)
