Permanent Foundation vs. Addiontial Perimeter Blocking

Very basic question about adding perimeter blocking to a single wide. Does this mean to add concrete stacked blocks, like a wall, under the edge? Or does this mean to add additional pier supports under the edge, like the existing center support piers? I see discussions that talk about "ADDITION...
