Super duper simple example on how to programmatically create your own custom Drupal blocks and display any content.

Code snippet below needs to be in a custom module.

/**<br> * Implements hook_block_info().<br> */<br>function YOUR_MODULE_block_info() {<br>&nbsp; $blocks = array();<p>&nbsp; $blocks['YOUR_BLOCK_ABC'] = array(<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 'info' =&gt; t('YOUR BLOCK NAME'),<br>&nbsp; );</p><p>&nbsp; return $blocks;<br>}</p><p>/**<br> * Implements hook_block_view().<br> */<br>function YOUR_MODULE_block_view($delta = '') {<br>&nbsp; $block = array();</p><p>&nbsp; switch ($delta) {<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; case 'YOUR_BLOCK_ABC':<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; $block['subject'] = '';<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; $block['content'] = _YOUR_MODULE_BLOCK_ABC_CONTENT();<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; break;<br>&nbsp; }</p><p>&nbsp; return $block;<br>}</p><p>function _YOUR_MODULE_BLOCK_ABC_CONTENT() {<br>&nbsp; $output = t('Hello world');<br>&nbsp; return $output;<br>}</p>
