CMS sections / categories question
 

How would one handle* and then the sidebar widgets display* the following situation.

Home
-- News
---- News Cat 1
---- News Cat 2
---- News Cat 3
--Character Bios
---- Male
---- Female
---- Robots
-- Reviews
---- Product Type 1
---- Product Type 2
-- Gallery (just articles with images as primary content)
---- Section 1
---- Section 2
---- Section 3

It looks like if I put News* Character Bios* and Gallery as sections* and then have sub-cats* and sub-sub cats* and sub-sub-sub-cats* that all the different content types will show up in the "Categories" widget* mixed together.

Is there a way to define top level "areas" of your site* like Home* Forum* News (articles)* Character Bios (articles)* Gallery (articles). And then have sub-sections and or sub-cats that will follow a structure?

Basically* vb has the site split into CMS* Blogs* Forum. Good* as is supposed to be. But what if we want to have other supposedly "equal" top-level areas alongside those* which then have sections and sub-cats and "mini-front-pages" of their own. Starting points and categorization unique to each area* which have nothing to do with each other.

How would CMS handle that?

Thanks.
