Hi Everyone,

I normally use News as my main page however on this latest site we do not want the main page to change, yet we still want a News section. Maybe a New box below the main content that does not change. The main page would be our mission statement and that is why we do not want it to change.

What would be the best way to set this up? What should I use to get this going?

Thank you for all your help
Arowana

The easy way is just to place a block with the static content you want to have, and set it to be visible only in Top Page.

thank you for the suggestion. I tried it and the blocks change the look and feel of the main page.

Is there a way to set "Welcome" news post always on top and main page so when I write new news it will just create a link in the Recent News Block I have below?

Ok figured it out and this is how I did it.

I created two Topics Club and News

I set Club to be displayed on main page
I set News Not to be displayed on main page


I set up the block of Recent News to Display bottom center
I set this block to only show "News"

I changed all the old news reports topic to News and set the one I wanted on the main page to Club.

Now I just have to remember when posting any new News I set the topic to News.

Thanks for your suggestion Mamba, it made me thinkn and tinker with it until I got the result I was looking for.

Thanks Again
