News Archive

With the News page part, you can setup a Publish Date and an End Date for each individual story. Not only does this mean that you don't have old information on your website, it also means that you can work on and complete stories ahead of time and simply set the Publish Date to the appropriate time in the future.

Is there an RSS feed with the news archive module? If so, how do viewers see and subscribe to it?

Yes. Any page that has the news archive module will have an embedded feed. Most latest browsers support feeds and will display a notification alerting the visitor that a feed is available.  This allows them to subscribe using their browser or some other feed reading program so that they can 'follow' you and be notified as you make updates. The below screenshot is from the Safari browser.
