Overview
The Scheduled Announcements Widget lets you add a scrolling list of site announcements, independent of normal posts and pages, to any widgetized
area of your site, or to your theme files. Perfect for publicizing an event, alert, or notice that doesn’t require a full-page write-up. Announcements
can be scheduled to run indefinitely or during a specific date range, and admins can chose between horizontal or vertical scrolling.
