How to add dynamic blocks to home page magento 1.9

[mmannanmasood]

I have a block added using the cms page in admin panel. {{block type="core/template" name="home-page-main-block" block_id="home_featured_block" template="page/blocks/home_page_main_block.phtml"}}

I saw a post where you said to add this block in the cms_page_view handle too, I followed your instructions but still it didnt worked, can you please guide me what I am doing wrong. In my local.xml I have added:

<cms_page_view>
    <refernence name="content">
        <block type="core/template" name="home-page-main-block" as="home-page-main-block" template="page/blocks/home_page_main_block.phtml"/>
    </refernence>
</cms_page_view>

also there you said to add it in the local.xml in the not visible way, can you please elaborate it.

Thanks.

You have a typo in reference. Maybe this is your fault?
