version 1.2.1 release

AWSOM Project website: http://www.awsom.org


This release of Awsom News Announcement is designed to give the Wordpress user the ability
to easily update and display a news announcement to their readers without needing to do extensive
file editing or template customization.

The plugin installs a database table to store the news announcement text and also creates a new Manage admin area that 
allows the admin to easily update their news announcement.

To Install:

Copy the plugin folder into your Wordpress plugin directory. Activate the plugin from the plugin interface. If you would like to place the News Announcement in an area other than at the top of your posts add the following lines to your theme file where you want the announcement to appear:

<div id="announcement">
<?php if (function_exists('display_my_news_announcement')) { display_my_news_announcement(); }  ?>
</div>


You will then want to turn the option "Place the News Announcement On Index Page above Posts" to off in the Manage Awsom News area. 
You can choose to use the Visual editor or directly add HTML code. If you wish to switch between editor types you need to switch the setting
and update the news post, then refresh the page again to have the editor reload properly.
