how to prepare and write notices for the noticeboard
The notice board is specifically for short term notices - upcoming events, harbour or marina issues, etc. The process is identical to the writing and editing of articles, but content needs to be kept short and concise. There are two requirements - that the category allocated is 'noticeboard' and that an expiry or 'finish publishing' date is placed on the article (after which date it is automatically 'un-published).
Note that articles may be text, images (if you want an 'advert style' notice), or both. The maximum image size is 285 pixels.
