news manager

Inform viewers of your school’s latest news and headlines.

Organize and display your news articles and announcements in a way that makes them obvious and accessible to viewers, but doesn’t clutter web pages.  Post headlines and teasers anywhere in sidebars, banners, or news scrolls and link to the full articles with as many details and photos as you choose.  Set automatic expiration dates for stories and have them cataloged in a searchable archive.
