Important Notes:
If you set a start date/time for an item, then it will not be sent out or published until that time. When it hits that start date/time, then it will automatically publish.
A category must be published and have at least one published News Flash item before it will show on the live site. If it still does not show, check that it has been related to the proper page(s).
