I found this to be a pretty handy trick!

I have a page of various events for my company. Some events are recurring -- and the only thing that changes is their dates.

It was annoying for me (a relative newbie) to keep rewriting new descriptions for events that basically never changed, so I implemented this idea:

For each event that's recurring, I go into its DESIGN control, click on the CSS tab, and to the custom CSS window, enter:


As long as the event is active, everything's cool.

When the event is over, I edit that CSS to read:


The block vanishes from the page, but remains as a skinny little line.

Then, a few months later, when the venue reopens and I can officially announce the event, I go back into that CSS block (I have to look carefully for the skinny line, but it's there!) and switch it back to:

Then, I change the dates to the new dates, re-arrange my blocks to suit the new schedule, save the changes, and Bob's your uncle!

I admit that this is probably a no-brainer for folks who've been doing this for a while, but it was very helpful for me to figure out, being a newbie and all, so if it helps anyone else out, fantastic!

Have fun!
