"""
A "box" is a re-usable content snippet - footers, blurbs, etc.

These generally should be avoided in favor of the more simplistic "just put
content in a template", but in cases where a bit of content needs to be
admin-editable, use a Box.

These should also not be used for single pages, for that see the pages app.
