Beginning Drupal 8

Chapter 8 ■ Drupal Blocks
On the “Add custom block” form, enter a description of the block in the “Block description” field; for
this example, we’ll use “My First Custom Block.” Next enter “Hello World!” in the Body text area and then
click the Save button. See Figure 8-7.
Figure 8-7. Block settings for a custom block
After saving the block, click the “Block layout” tab at the top of the page and look for your new block in
the “Place blocks” box under the Custom category. Click the name of the block you created and assign the
block to a region on the page. Click the “Save block button” and return to the homepage of your site where
you’ll see the block you created in the region you specified (see Figure 8-8).
