the thing is I would like to create a block manager witch users can fill in
for themselves. So they can create different groups with different blocks in
them.

And to do this so that I can be edited all the time.
Of course, this depends on how, exactly, you have your libray configured.
If it is database driven, you can have a field for "Group Name", then with
SQL you can easily do a SELECT DISTINCT [Group Name] query, which would give
you all of your groups. Then, for each group, you can display the matching
blocks.
I've done this with an intranet web links page, as well. It does provide
plenty of flexibility, though it does leave more data control up to the
users.
