[support] editing block content question

[Laura Scott]

Maybe this doesn't address what you're asking, but blocks defined by  
various modules generally don't offer any controls over their content  
directly within the block configuration (except for the general block  
controls, such as on what pages they appear), while blocks you create  
will offer their "guts" to you because you're the one who created  
them in the first place.

Does this come close?
