Instances can be made from any block which has multiple content.

Examples of blocks which can be used to make instances of:

  • Blocks made with the Headerimage module (which gives flexible conditions to select and display nodes).

  • Blocks made with the views module in general.

Working together with the headerimage module and views makes retrieving and displaying content with the dynamic display block module very flexible.
