Static blocks are a great way to add sections of HTML to your CMS or Catalog pages. I'm going to show you how to add a static block to a CMS page.

It's a 2 step process and a very simple one. First, create your static block by going to CMS->Static Blocks. You will use the identifier of your static block to reference it on the CMS page. Edit the CMS page you would like this block to appear in, and add this code in the location where you would like it to show up:

 {{block type="cms/block" block_id="home-page-promo"}}
