Add Static Block Above Content On Every Page

Question

I'd like to add a static block above the content on every page.

I've tried adding these to my local.xml but the block appears in the wrong place:

<default>
    <reference name="top.links">
        <block type="cms/block" name="head_images ">
            <action method="setBlockId"><value>head_images</value></action>
        </block>
    </reference>
</default>

And

<default>
    <reference name="after_body_start">
        <block type="cms/block" name="head_images ">
            <action method="setBlockId"><value>head_images</value></action>
        </block>
    </reference>
</default>

Any ideas?

You can try Widget for this.

Create a widget and set Type CMS Static Block under frontend Properties

In Layout Updates you can set

Display on: All Pages
Block Reference: Main content area 

Under widget option tab select your static block.

Hope above will help!
