The "News" feature is a sidebar widget you can use to keep your users informed of latest happenings on your site.

#Log in as administrator (if not already)
#Click on ''Global Settings'' then ''Manage Page Content'' (or browse to '''admin/content''')
#Click on the ''Create New Content'' button
#Select 'news' from the ''Content Type'' field and leave ''New Content Type'' blank. (If you do not see 'news' as an option, then type ''news'' into the ''New Content Type'' field.)
#Fill out the ''Title'' and ''Content Entry'' fields and click the ''Submit Content'' button

This last step will take you back to the ''Manage Page Content'' screen. Select 'news' from the ''Select topic type'' list and you should see your new topic at the top of the list of topics.

= Add/Remove 'News' as a Sidebar Widget =
#Log in as administrator (if not already)
#Click on ''Manage Site'' then ''Sidebar Extras'' (or browse to '''admin/extras''')
#If the 'News' box is not already in the sidebar, drag it from the center of the screen under ''Available Sidebar Extras'' to the sidebar under ''Sidebar Extras In Use / Drag items to here...''
#Click on the ''Save'' button.

To remove the 'News' feature from the sidebar, drag it from the sidebar back into the center of the screen.
