John;

A few questions...

1) Once you upload the blocks you must visit the ADMIN page to install the blocks.  Have you done so?

2) If you have, are the blocks you are adding ones that you have developed or blocks that have appeared in these forums?

3) Are you installing the lang/BLOCK_NAME.PHP files also?
