• Anyone can view news items, including non-members.
• You must log in and have membership privileges to post a news item.
• You may edit and delete your own news items at any time.
• News items may be assigned to categories and priorities.
• News items automatically expire (and are deleted) after a set time period.
• The last five news items are initially displayed (the "All" category).

In the upper section, select your news category, priority, the number of months you want the item to remain active, and give a short description of your announcement.

Type your news item in the large text box. You can use your Enter key to make paragraphs and space them out. If you know HTML (the Web's page layout language), you can do some extra formatting. For instance, putting some text between "<b>" and "<\b>" makes the text bold, while "<i>" and "<\i>" can force italics. Remember that you can edit your news item at any time to fix mistakes, update its content, or change its priority and expiration.

When you are done editing your news item, click the Save button to post your announcement. Use the Cancel button to return to the News page without making changes or addtions.
