## Introduction

This page allows you to set a message that will appear at the top of your front page all the time it's activated. You can set a different message for guests, registered/logged-in members and administrators.

You can avoid a redirect to News by placing your home page content in a welcome message for guests. This would be good for your SEO, if that is important for you.
