Can I include a news box?

There is a newsbox() function in cms.php. Call it with in the template.

The newsbox function simply returns the contents from a specified page (which may be hidden) - you must rewrite the template to ensure correct formatting.

How to make a newsbox:

In CMSimple create a page named News. Write some stuff on this page and save it.

If you wish to keep this page hidden, add an CMSimple hide to this page. 

Add this in template.htm: <?php echo newsbox('News');?>
