How to use the Scratch Blocks - for New Scratchers
The colorful Scratch Blocks attract most of the New Users attention - this leads to them being misused a lot. If you are using the Scratch Blocks make sure you put "[blocks]" before and "[/blocks]" after the blocks code for example:
Code:
[blocks] <when green flag clicked> <show> [/blocks]
If you do not do this then the text after the blocks will be bold, which doesn´t look very nice. Like this:
<when green flag clicked>
Bold text.
[/blocks]
To prevent this always use the "[blocks]" and "[/blocks]" tags.
Also please don´t spam the forums with these blocks. If you want to see what they look like, use the preview function.

Thanks. Hopefully now there won't be as much block spam/misusage.

lolol/rdococ approves of this topic
[blocks]
<forever>
<if> <( block spam <=> true )>
<turn cw( 90 )degrees>
<glide( 0.001 )secs to x 
x of spam )y y of spam
<end>
<end>
[/blocks]
(spammer says ouch!)
I rarely use blocks...
On the serious side, this would be a good guide, I always see block spam from new users.
Maybe, let only Scratchers post blocks?

Re: How to use the Scratch Blocks - for New Scratchers
This is good guide 
I see a lot of users forgetting to add the [blocks] and [/blocks] tags, so hopefully there'll know to now.
I hardly ever use the blocks anyway though 
I either take a screenshot of the script and give them a link to it, or I just write "When green flag clicked" etc.; the blocks look messy, in my opinion.

Yeah, soon a better version of the blocks will be released. It is already on the Scratch Wiki - it looks awesome! Have a look at it here:
