One of the most useful extensions we have come across in the last two years is Gavick's News Show. This extension allows users to place content into module posiitons and does it with style and grace. This is by far one of the easiest, yet fully featured tools that we have been priveledged to use.

Unlike many sites who boast certain levels of functionality, Gavick's website says that you can "free your Website from limitations and win perfect control of content, news and articles" and we have found this to be true.

Without any hesitation we can say that we highly recommend this extension as one of the best we have used and we sincerely hope that Gavick continues to produce work of this standard. It has certainly made our lives a whole lot easier.
