Most of the templates default to showing the news items on the front page of the shopping cart. If you want them to show up there, but they're not, you will probably
have to add the news panel to your front page to get the items to show
up. It's a relatively simple procedure that you can do from the admin
panel where you view the template files, open up the default.html file
and add a bit of code to it.
If you want to do that now, you can log into your control panel and
click the Store Design option from the menu at the top of the screen.
Next click the "Browse Template Files" button. A popup will appear and
default.html will be displayed for editing in the main portion of the
popup.
Find the div tag with a class of "left" or "right" depending on where you
want to place the news items, and then add this bit of code in that div
tag:
%%Panel.HomeRecentBlogs%%
Now click the save button at the top of the popup, then open up your
home page in another browser window and refresh the page. You should be
seeing your news items now. If you get an error message saying the file isn't writable, then you'll have to download the default.html file from your template to your computer using FTP and make the change manually (or temporarily change the permissions to make it writable)
