Curious about what options people are using..
Example:
I made a custom layout using Omega+Delta+Context, and for that front page, I created about 6 special blocks that I want to position in those new frontpage specific regions.
Instead of using the native Drupal visibility settings for each of the blocks destined only for the front page, what's another way to set this visibility? I don't want to clutter up the "admin/structure/block" page with so many blocks.
It'd be so nice to have that blocks page shown per context or "custom Delta layout."
I found this module, but it doesn't use the formal Context module or Delta module:
http://drupal.org/project/block_context
Thanks for any best practices.
(I'm starting to realize why I switched away from Panels-- so convenient for layout/content/context integration... oh yea, better responsive...)

You can use context for block placing
Displaying blocks is one of the reactions you can choose for a given context.
Plenty of context without using Context/Delta
I have been building a new site from scratch in D7 and have yet to install/use Context and Delta. I have plenty of contextual options built into my Views, and many of my Blocks are configured for specific pages.
I am trying to work within the simplest approach first, then add complexity only as it is needed.
