News

The News content type is best used for content that you want to be activated by a publish date and time that you pre-set. This is helpful when you want to draft a news story in advance but don't want it to appear on the live web site until a later date or time. This content type is also useful for creating a section of announcements that you can easily promote to the homepage using the Promotions feature.
