Editing Existing Announcements To edit an old announcement, simply click on the appropriate circle for the announcement you wish to edit, select the edit button, and you will be taken to the Editing Announcements screen, which is discussed below. The process of creating or editing announcements is essentially the same. The first field is the headline that will be displayed in the announcement box. Try to make your announcement as interesting as possible. A good announcement will draw users in to your web site.
Brief announcements are usually most effective.
A maximum of 90 characters and spaces can be input into the announcement box. If you do not supply a URL, web users will link to a web page that displays the material you enter in the paragraph field. Even if you supply a URL, the paragraph will provide documentation about the announcement, so it is necessary to enter the paragraph information. This field is optional, and does not need to be completed to have an announcement run on the system. The scope of the announcement, located in field four, governs its distribution.
