Announcements

The little box at the top right of the front page is meant for short messages that you want members to spot.

To change the Announcement:

1. In Site Admin, click on the [Presentation] menu item
2. Click on the [Sidebar widgets] tab
3. You will see a representation of the sidebar (annoyingly on the left when it’s on the right of the actual page)
4. The boxes on that ‘sidebar’ represent the ‘widgets’ or small elements of content that appear there
5. The top one is labelled [Text 1]
6. Click on the configure icon on its right hand end
7. Update the text in the pop-up box. You can change both the header (e.g. Announcements) and the text that will appear below that header. Continually altering the header will make the site less easy to use, so stick to whatever you decide on (Announcements or something else). You could use Stop Press, Newsflash, Oi! etc.
8. Check your work
9. Close the pop-up box by clicking on the [X] in its top right hand corner
10. Click on the [Save changes >>] button below the box
11. Click on the (View site>>) link in the header to check it on the live site
