I might be missing this ability.
I have a blog on my site with one post is an intro to the blog. I have put that intro node into a block (using this module).
Is it possible to display this node only in the bock and never in the page content?

Well, you could simply not supply any navigation or link to the node page. Of course, if you are not married to that being a node, you could simply make that intro a stand-alone block.

I have been doing this as a stand-alone block. And I really should just do it with Taxonomy, Views and a CCK field.

I was just looking for a way to streamline editing of certain areas of my website, and creating a little more flexibility in how same content-type nodes are displayed and where (in the sidebars). Because being able to select a node to display in a sidebar is great!

This module is so straight-forward in what it does, I had hoped that there was an option for whether or not the node should be displayed in the content area.

I was being lazy instead of working it out with the obvious tools :)

@messenger I'm not sure if that's interesting. Like greta_drupal says, if there are no links to the node, you really shouldn't worry about it. People can guess for node/id of course, but to be honest, not many folks out there are doing that :) We've implemented this for testing once at work, but actually didn't work out well. If you're worried about search results also, those things can be blocked too with additional modules and the way we work right now for views is to add a filter to not show either a certain node type (we usually create a separate content type for content usefull for this module) or with a taxonomy term.

So for now, marking as by design since we had too much trouble with it anyway :)
