Building a Deck

Anybody experienced with building a deck? In particular using those concrete blocks as a foundation for a "free floating" deck instead of digging and concreting post holes. I'm toying with the idea of building one myself and am intrigued with the idea of using deck blocks. However I also have a nagging thought in the back of my mind that they just make things too easy and cut the kind of engineering corners that would change a 240D into a Kia. Or am I wrong? Any thoughts on the subject would be appreciated.
