One final thing Jeff,

i might be interested in creating one of the blocks myself, but i can't 
seem to find out where to register the block so i can add it to horde. 
My first guess was registry.php, but that doesn't seem the right place, 
can you tell me where, or point me at some docs on these block-functions?

Thanks again!

Ruben van der Steenhoven.
