How do you use your own created blocks?

define 

Just go to “My blocks” or something in the very left, then your made blocks will be there

so a custom block is like a function. anything in the “Define” block is what will happen when your custom piece is called on in the code. the define block is just what you want to happen when your block is used. in block form it looks like this.

when green flag clicked
(MyBlock)

define (MyBlock)
say [Now whatever here will happen when the flag is clicked] for (2) secs]

Hope this helps. try messing with it a bit and that should help a lot

The define block is just where you put your code to tell the program how to run your block. I have an example here (read this post first):
https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/293658088/editor/
There's a list of instructions explaining what the code does, but if you don't want to worry about it, don't.
Here's the use of the custom block:
To reduce repetitive chunks of script.
To make users able to customize the game easier, like making a custom setting.
To have a script chunk adapt to an input (check out the link)

The purpose of the define block is telling what the custom block to do. It's like the actual scratch program: no code, nothing happens. You have to tell he computer what to do, and how to do it.

There are 3 different options for custom blocks: text box, a text/number input, or a boolean input. All of those are (kind of) reviewed in the link above.
The option to run without screen refresh just slows the fps of the scratch game to the point where the code can run within one frame. Useful for some cases, but not others.

When using a define block, if you have inputs, those input spots are like variables in a way: you click and drag them from the define block into the attached script where you want them (examples given in link).

If I missed something, or didn't explain something well, let me know!

I do not see Define Block in the dialog of My Blocks. Do I need to be a Scratcher to see it or something?

Create a new block and you will see the define block in the editor.

Thx now I know how to use Boolean

1 - create your own new topic instead of necroposting

2 - say what you want the block to do!
