I use them mainly for injecting little bits of javascript... but
essentially you:
1) create a view or an element
2) stick the "block" code in that view or element
3) echo that "block" in a view or element which is currently being loaded.
e.g.
default.ctp
<?php echo $this->element('sidebar'); ?>
sidebar.ctp
<?php
$this->start('sidebar.block');
// block code...
$this->end();
// other code for the side bar
echo $this->fetch('sidebar.block');
?>
or you could fetch the sidebar in the layout..
there is no magic "blocks" folder which stores all the blocks - thats what
elements are for.
