Simple but exactly what I need

Very simple. After installing the module:

1) Create a new Content Type called "Node Block" with nodeblock as the internal name and check that you want this type exposed as a block (the new option).
2) Create a template for that in themes/.../node-nodeblock.tpl.php (otherwise you'll get all the header stuff). Mine looks like this:

3) Create a new node of that content type.

4) It now shows up in your blocks, and even has edit links!!

This is exactly what I needed. It baffles me that this is not a core function of Drupal. Putting content in the block itself is completely against the Drupal design principles.
