Hi Scott,

I am trying to use the News Articles module to display article links from newspapers and radio.

I would like to see an addition to your module where when you are creating an article, right under category, before author change option, for a drop down list of 'item source' - here I could put Portland Press Herald, Bar Harbor Times, Maine Public Radio, etc. that people could choose from (also an 'other' dropdown choice that would allow them to add the source).

I also want to allow registered users to be able to easily add an article.  I would like to be able have some flexibilty in customizng the 'create article' form. What I mean is that all that person could do was choose a title, date published, summary, item source (from drop down as explained above), category (mine are newspaper article; radio report; letter to the editor), summary (without FCK editor - just paste in plain text in a box), thumbnail image.

Your module gives a great abilty to someone familiar with DNN/FCK to add and edit, but I need something simpler with fewer controls so I am not always hearing "how do you do this?" or "how do you format this?" - if you see what I mean.

Thanks so much for your great work.

I could add the source in an advanced section (the design of the create article screen will be changing soon).

I'll take into account your suggestions for the changes.
