B*cms has a specific news category that does things a bit differently than the other categories. First of all it's articles are sorted by publishing date, starting with the most recent article. And it has a paging system limiting the number of articles to be shown at the same time.
News articles can be displayed on the start page. I you want. If not, just shut it down in the start page settings. Or you can control this feature on an article level, pushing the stuff that needs pushing. And if you don't want any news at all? Fine, just deactivate it in the menu settings.
Now, you're probably wondering about that little icon below the image to the right. No? Anywan, it's a link to a pdf file. B*cms articles supports uploads of PDF and ZIP files.
