Issue Summary
Quick question:
How do I add a block into a panel? I'm not new to Drupal at all, but I can't seem to do this. No one else has filed something like this recently, so I must be missing something.
Some discussions mentioned adding blocks to panels through the content dialog. I don't see a list of blocks in my content dialog, under any of the categories provided.
Thanks!

#1
Here's a screen shot of my content dialog, as I noticed the categories can change (depending on context?).
This really should not be so difficult... I'm feeling really dumb at the moment... ^^" (maybe it's just the lack of sleep coming through...)
#2
Most blocks provided by core are there, categorized generally either into Menus, Widgets, or Activity. Most blocks offerred by contrib modules end up under miscellaneous unless the contrib module provides the hook to recategorize the block.
#3
I think lack of sleep had something to do with me not seeing the block in the Misc section. *sigh*...
Thanks, Earl!

i've had this problem a few times but it was just me being impatient. if i was adding a view or block to a region i would look everywhere on #1 screenshot. what i didn't realize is that you need to save your panel and actually navigate away and back to edit the view to see your blocks or view. this was only a problem if i was making the views and blocks while i was in the panel. ie on a different screen.
thanks guys
