News Module NOT Displaying Content

Installed CMS Made Simple 0.12.1 "Savusavu" and have the News module running.  I have the correct permissions to update the news content.  I've checked 'Published' from the drop down.

The problem is that it is not displaying on the page.  The bizarre thig is that the XML image link is displaying, plus it's actually working and has the content in it.

On the home page here - arthaul.com - you'll see a lonely little XML image with no content.

This is the tag I'm using to pull it in:
{cms_module module="news" number="5" dateformat="%l %e %B %Y" makerssbutton="true"}

Any ideas?

You'll need to include a second tag for the content itself, the tag you have in there only tells it to provide an rss link.

So what's the other tag?

The info only mentions:
How do I use it?

The easiest way to use it is in conjunction with the cms_module tag. This will insert the module into your template or page anywhere you wish, and display news items. The code would look something like: {cms_module module="news" number="5" category="beer"}

just take out the rssbutton stuff out of the first tag, and leave it in the second.

Nice one, that worked.

A little confusing, but thanks for your help.
