You can easily call any static block from template (phtml) file. At first, you have to create a static block.

Let us suppose, you created a static block with the identifier cool_items.

Now, you can call the static block from any phtml file with the help of following code:


echo $this->getLayout()
          ->createBlock('cms/block')
          ->setBlockId('cool_items')
          ->toHTML();

Thanks.
