    Default Announcement or News Plugin?

    I've been looking for a very simple announcement/news/mini-blog plugin that might produce something that looks like this:

    http://smartwebsecurity.com/leawagner/secrets.asp

    It should not be some full blown blogging or news program. It just needs to be very simple, displaying it consecutively (maybe with pagination).

    Is there something like this available?

    If you have Zen Cart installed you can investigate EZPages

    I was a bit vague. I do have Zen Cart installed and I've been looking at the Zen Cart plugins, trying to find something that will show announcements in a way similar to the link I gave.

    Look at EZPages or the Document-General Product Types. These may be just what you are looking for without an add-on.

    I'm looking for something that posts one entry after the next and sorts entries by date - but nothing as advanced as a blog. EZPages or documents give you too much control over the page - my client won't understand what to do. And the news manager plugin is just too complicated. It needs to be super simple like in the example. Is there nothing that does this?

    We can not educate your client...
    EZPages will do this and you can style the frontend to appear similar
    Not sure about the news manager as I have not used it

    I don't see how to do this in EZPages except to build a static page of posts.

    Set it up as a TOC with many articles contained
    After this you can change some of the displayed text descriptions and style it using css

    Thank you, Kobra. As far as I can tell though, the TOC is only available as a side box. I couldn't get it to work otherwise with summaries all laid out on one page.
