Being based on catagories, you can expect alot!

- News is stored in the database.
- Full Mutlilingual support.
- code is (far as I know) fully osC standardized

- Fits right in on the top page of the site like the "New Products for February" box ;-) NewsDesk was released in February.
- Like lastest_news it won't display news if status is set to "inactive aka red"
- headline, summary, image, [read more] link on top page
- [read more] full content page

- News is full controlled by the admin area which looks and behaves just like the catagories/products section does.
- status setting "red/green" to make articles active and inactive.
- drop down menu to jump to catagory quickly
- searchable news articles
- picture upload
- preview page just in case you flub-up ;-)
