Thanks Warren and Nancy and Patrick.<br>I think I have the views part down (sort of) I am just not sure about what sort of content I have to create. Because the field I want is not appearing in the view as a choice. So I don't understand that part. I just want a simple message saying "we are closed on July 4th" as a BBC ticker. Create a block or an article or a page...?????<br>
I did manage to see a view I created working but it was ticking the title of the views block. So the words delete, edit etc were ticking when I was logged on. Apparently the title of the views block. <br><br>Thanks<br>Tony<br>
