[support] Possible to add block to node content?

[Jody Cleveland]

This is the site I'm working on: http://beta.menashalibrary.org/
 
I've got three blocks there, two node carousel's and a popular content block. Ideally what I'd like to do is have a div that contains those three blocks within the content area of a page. With the one carousel that rotates content, the popular content next to it, and the other carousel right below it. Kind of like this:

|                                         |                   | 
|                                         |                   |
--------------------------------------------------------------
|                                                             |
|                                                             |
|                                                             |

There used to be a http://drupal.org/project/insert_block module but
it has not been upgraded to Drupal 6

I also recall a technique for creating "floater" theme regions in the
content, at least for Drupal 5 (http://drupal.org/node/29139)

But if it is only for one page, does it need to be a block? Can't it
be just formatted content?
