Notes for using News
- This page is hidden as cannot get it to look good. Just add, edit or delete News items under "Edit Block" on this page as usual & they will be shown on the front page using the "Site Aside" option. See Secretary Notes for more info.
- To create a news story with photos it is best to create a hidden page and include a Gallery block as a Gallery Block is the best way of dealing with photos (alignment, captions etc). Then create a News item linking to that hidden page. You cannot include a Gallery Block in a News item due to how we are handling News items (see Note 1)
