Location Rules
These allow you choose to display your announcement on selected individual pages or posts or on groups of posts or pages.
Themes and Effects
Box Styles allow you to select from a range of different styles for your announcement. Normally “Style 1” is sufficient.
Border, background and text colours can be chosen. Select contrasting text and background colours. Check that your combination of colours still works if there are any links in your announcement.
You can add additional styling and effects. Normally “No Effect” is adequate.
