Description
## Problem
The `creativecommons-base` theme currently defines theme configuration forms and templates for two specific components:
- featured conetent
- donation appeal
However, the hard-coded nature of these templates may be inflexible while introducing a maintenance burden to the project.
## Description
Consider creating two generic theme block areas, such as `below_header` and `above_footer` wherein we can place Gutenberg blocks. For example, there can be a separate project for CC-specific Gutenberg blocks such as a Donation Appeal Block and a Featured Content Card block.
## Additional context
WordPress 5.8 allows developers to define template regions that can contain Gutenberg blocks.
