Headlines

The Headlines widget is designed to allow easy posting of concise news items in a predefined area of your site (typically on the home page).

Note: The Message field is required and is limited to 255 characters. If you're going to provide a link for this headline where the site visitor can read more about the topic, then the Message field should contain a short "teaser" to give your site visitor a hint at what he or she will find at the link. If you do not intend to provide a link with more information, then the Message field should be used to provide whatever additional information your site visitor may need to understand this Headline.
