Blocks Feature Confusion

[Nick Taylor]

I just had a quick question about this blocks feature. I'm trying to figure out how I can get a side bar with Recent Posts on it. I have looked everywhere and have not found it yet. I'm just wondering how I could add the recent posts side bar that I see on most of the IPS sites. This is a post I found,l I'm sure this is what I need, but how would I go about getting it onto my site without the Pages addon

I've figured it out. To access block manager you just have to go to your home page and go to the left side and you will see a small arrow. Click this and you can access the block manager. It was very hard to see with the dark background I was using.
