Your brill-zones and brill-roll

The brill-roll is the sidebar where smaller snippets of information and various widgets can be added. It is made up of two parts – the brill-zone and the sidebar.

Sidebar

Content added to the sidebar appears on every page. This is good for things like menus and search widgets.

Brill-zones

Brill-zones are widget-enabled areas that exist per page. Every page (including the front page) has its own unique brill-zone. This allows you to add contextual content that compliments the main page.

Brill-zones are good for lists of links (blogrolls, for example) and fun facts.
