What's a 'Blurb' and How Do I Use It?

A blurb is simply some message you want to convey to visitors of your site. This can be useful for announcing special promotions on the site or future site outages.

You edit and use them exactly the same way you use the 'News' feature except you substitute the word 'blurb' for 'news' in that tutorial.

The difference is that registered users can turn the 'News' feature off through the Preferences menu item, whereas only admins control the 'blurbs' widget.
