How can I create reusable content blocks in OS 2.0 themes?

I am new to Shopify and have played around with it to learn it does pretty much everything I need… except one thing… it doesn’t let me create a block of content one time that can then be used on multiple pages (such as a sign up banner). Seems like an essential basic functionality but I cannot figure out how this is done. By the looks of it it seems one would have to add a banner to each page one wishes to display it on and populate it with the desired data. That can’t be the only way, can it?

This is using the new free OS 2.0 Shopify themes.

Steps to follow:

  1. From your Shopify admin, go to Online Store > Themes.
  2. Find the theme you want to edit and click Actions > Edit code.
  3. Go to Sections > Add a new section > Enter section name (eg:-welcome)
  4. After entering the name of section Click “Create section”.
  5. After the section is created copy the static “HTML” code to that section.

Thank you, that does the trick and is simple to implement.
