Strange Block Problem
Hey Corbin, Try checking the permissions on the Global library node in the tree. It should be located under the root node.

I'm logged in as an administrator. I checked all the permissions and they are all set right. We didn't make any changes to the default settings.

Hmm, it looks quite broken. Can you open the a JavaScript console and see if you get any errors?
Do you have a root page configurared for your blocks (check the site settings page)?

Looked as the JS console in Firebug and it's slammed full of errors from dojo.js
"Error: Unable to load /Admin/cms/Stores/contenttype/?query=getsuggestedcontenttypes&requestedTypes=EPiServer.DataAbstraction.BlockType&dojo.preventCache=1361896847650 status:500
http://www.mydomain.com/Admin/Shell/1.0.456/ClientResources/dtk/dojo/dojo.js
Line 15"
Edit:
I don't know if it was a cache issue or what but I'm not getting the above error any more. Still no blocks available.

I think I figured out the problem. My original set up was for multiple sites. We had a change of plans and decided to go with a singlular site. When I removed the sites we were not going to use, I DID NOT uncheck the "use site specific block folder" option. For some reason EPi7 freaks out when that option is set for a single site config. As soon as I turned it off, all of my blocks are available.

I've run into an issue regarding blocks that's really weird. I've followed Anton K's tutorial but for some reason, I can't create a block inside the CMS. I tried the Block Type specific method and my page will show the block, however I get a "There is no rendered for "MyBlockType"" message on the page screen. I can create a ContentArea for a block, but when I go to create one through the CMS, I don't even have the "New Block" option. If I try it through the Create Content button at the top, there are no block types even available to me. I have BlockTypes defined and have views (using Razor) in my Views/Shared/ folder as well as a BlockController/BlockModel/BlockView in it's own folder (View/MyBlock/MyBlock.cshtml)
Here are some screen shots:
