Hmm, I don't see any Advantage over putting the HTML directly into Templates FORUMHOME/FORUMDISPLAY?

Anyway, I'd suggest to make it at least hassle-free by using a Product (see attached File).

This would cut down the Instructions to

- Import Product XML
- Make the 2 Template Edits

To allow for more precise control of announcements, maybe?

This is probably me being a little teeny bit moronic but... where do you write the message to display in the announcement?

I've tried the built in announcement tool but that just posts a standard issue announcement.

I've tried the built in announcement tool but that just posts a standard issue announcement.I have looked at the raw code of the XML file. Surely you don't expect us to edit that every time we want to make an announcement?
