Are there times where all you need to do is post a simple message?  Perhaps you would like to announce a Snow Day on your school website, or an upcoming Fish Fry at the rectory?  How about adding an automated section that displays the current Date and/or Time?   Whatever your needs, an excellent place to do so is the Special Notice section.

The Special Notice is specifically designed for these types of applications.  The Special Notice is a section, just like an article, that will be applied to all of your pages.  When the Special Notice is being used, it will show up just under the Page Header on all of your pages and articles. You can use this Special Notice section for announcements of any sort.

To access the Special Notice, click Step 3 - Page Content, followed by Open Page, and finally (edit) Special Notice under Standard Page Elements. You will see the familiar editor, and you can add your notice as desired. Additionally, EZWeb is equipped with the ability to send this notice to child sites. There is a check box below the editor that reads, "Show this Special Notice on all child sites". This particular feature is especially handy if you are working on a school site, and want to broadcast a school closing to all classroom sites for example. Perhaps a diocese has an important update, the Special Notice can be carried out to child department sites automatically.

If you are interested in applying the scrolling text effect to your special notice, you will need to add the marquee tags to the source. Visit Knowledgebase article #136 at CatholicWebHelp.com for more information regarding scrolling marquee text.
