Clone a block

Hi is it possible to clone a block?

I want to include the same block twice on a single page with different content.

One block will contain news headlines from one RSS feed and the other block will contain headlines from a different RSS feed.

I want them both to display on the index page.

Is this an impossible mission?

hope, not!
I want the same thing - to clone the block. One is for main page, another - for news page, with same content but different style and so on..

If i don't find a solution, the only thing i could do is to use some other less usefull news block, rebuilt it and use it... But i want to find the better way..

i'm thinking of the same thing (cloning a block), but for other reason though.

i want to show a block in two different spots in 2 pages, for example: in the front/main page, i want to show it in the center left block, but want to show it (the same exact block) in the left blocks for example in the module page itself.

is cloning the block is the only way?

Probably I misunderstood something but...
David, do you want to display several blocks with the same title
on one page?
Then you could simply create a new custom block
with the same title as the first one, (neverhteless, it will have a different id and nothing gonna be messed up), select the pages/modules where you want to dispaly it, copy the content/template of the original block to the content field of the new one and modify it as you need or have the exact copy. I have several different blocks with one and the same title throughout my site, and althouth they are simple custom html blocks, I see no reason why it wouldn't work in your case.

Hope it will be of some use
