I'm not sure what you're planning on putting in those areas, so my answer may 
not be correct for your situation, but have you looked into the Panels 
module?:
http://drupal.org/project/panels

With it you could create separate areas where you have your content.  If you 
wanted to have each area administered by a different person, you could create 
separate, identical content types and set the permissions appropriately.

Here's the path:
http://www.example.com/admin/build/block/add
There should be a tab in the content area (not in the menu) labeled "Add 
block".
