Hello all,
I am working on a site for a baseball team. One of the features they want is a "From the GM" block, which will basically be thoughts and or comments from the general manager. My question is what is the best way to have him/her be able to update this block?

Should I create a custom content type? If I do that, how would I make it so only that type will appear in that block (From the GM)?

Thanks.

Chris

Will you want histroical content? If not then you could use a php snippet in a block and just have the GM edit the same node. http://drupal.org/node/38732

For grins I used it to display node/12 on my play site (http://beta.blkmtn.org/index.php?q=node/12) Look at the 'gm block'. Needs some work on formatting and such but it's a posible start. Another posbility is to create a 'GM' user. Turn on blog module for the GM user. Then have the block do a php script read of the latest GM user blog post and post the contents of that.

Thanks Steven,
I did use a block and a PHP script. That was just what I wanted. I was able to use the SQL to order and limit it to 1 returned row.

Thanks.
