Notice Block
Select Edit Page from the top left menu when viewing your Welcome page in Site
view. Hover below the Latest Notices block until you see the Add New Block
facility and choose to add a new block. The block you want is called u3a notice
list but if you can’t remember the exact name of a block then you can type a
word you think describes what you are looking for and see what comes up.
Typing notice in the box brings up u3a notice list so select that and you will get a
placeholder like this one.

Update and view the page and you will see that you now have two Latest Notice
blocks. This demonstrates that the u3a notice block simply displays active
notices from your u3a Notices list. You could place a u3a notices list on a
different page if you want to but it will still display the same notices. There are
sometimes good reasons for doing this if the same message is required to
appear on several pages so that it is not missed, for instance. If a different
message is required on another page then this can be achieved using another
block such as a coloured paragraph block or perhaps by adding a Post.

Clearly we don’t want to have two identical blocks on a page so I shall now delete
the second one.

Did you notice that the block I added was across the width of the page whereas
the one that was already in place on this page was to the right of a photo? This
was achieved with the use of a media and text block. The photo was placed in
the media space on the left and the Notice List was placed on the right.

Self-Check: u3a Notices
Create a notice of your own so that it also shows now on the Latest Notices list
on the Welcome page. Make the expiry date any date you like.
