Search for Eliot Coleman's seed block soil recipe. He is the clever farmer who came up with the seed blocking idea. There are lots of variations on his basic soil recipe. I use about half peat moss, half compost, with some perlite, and a sprinkling of lime, phosphorous, and greensand and slowly add water and mix it all together until it jiggles a little. You can ball it up in your hand and drop it - if it largely stays together its good. Seed block mix needs to have a lot more water in it than a conventional potting mix

Would blocks left outdoors be destroyed by rain or are these just for indoor use?
