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.

"This is a bit mind-boggling that this wouldn't use tokens. So all emails are generic, with no customization..."
"This module is great, most of Drupal's weakness has been in people not understanding it's administration..."
