[support] 'News'-type feature required

[The Janitor]

Hi all

Thanks for the help on this guys.

Before  I  started  to  investigate  the  methods suggested, a thought
occured  to  me: "Could I use the 'blog' module?" After all, a blog is
really just a list of 'news' items.

It  works  well  (in my case only one person can have a blog, which is
what I want).

Blog  entries  are  'published'  but  not 'promoted to front page'.

The  'Recent blog posts' block appears in the left sidebar (floated to
the top) and renamed 'Latest News'.  It means the user clicking a link
to  the  news item rather than reading it directly but I can live with
that.

Are there any problems with this approach that I've missed?

There are two cosmetic issues I'd like some help with:

I'd  like  to limit the number of items (i.e. recent blog posts) shown
to  less  than 10 (the default) and I'd like the link to the "author's
blog" link not to be shown. I suspect that these will involve changing
some code somewhere. Any clues?

Many thanks for your help.
