title: magento - adding a block using local.xml
body: <p>if I have a template in </p>
  
  <pre><code> app\design\frontend\base\default\template\dir\template.phtml
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>that look like this</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;div class='block block-list'&gt;  
      &lt;div class='block-title'&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;Some Block&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
          &lt;div class='block-content'&gt;  
              &amp;nbsp;&lt;?php echo "my content"; ?&gt;
          &lt;/div&gt;
      &lt;/div&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>How can I show it on a catalog page using local.xml? Shouldn't this code work?</p>
  
  <pre><code> &lt;?xml version="1.0"?&gt;
   &lt;layout version="0.1.0"&gt;    
      &lt;default&gt;                   
         &lt;reference name="right"&gt;
           &lt;block  type="core/template" 
              name="somename"
              template="dir/template.phtml" /&gt;
        &lt;/reference&gt;
      &lt;/default&gt;
   &lt;/layout&gt;
  </code></pre>
