Layoutable do
  # defines valid areas
  areas :top, :bottom, :left, :right, :header, :footer, :center

    full :top, :bottom, :left, :right, :center
    left :top, :bottom, :right
    portfolio :top, :bottom, :center
    blog do
      right :text, :social
    end
  end
  
  widgets do
    text do
      title :string, :label => "Sample text"
      body :text
    end
    
    social do
      links :as => Link
    end
  end
end

That creates cells, areas, and layouts.
