//The news section of the website may be updated by adding new elements to the 'news' array
//You can use HTML to include links inside the arrays but just make sure that you close all of your tags.
// e.g. To place a link inside a news item define the array element as follows
// news[x] = "01.01.01 - Here is some news. <a href="http://www.yourlink.com">click me</a> for a link
// this will result in an output on the website which shows the news which includes a link where the words "click me" appear.

//'NEWS ARRAY' Array below. Add new elements to update the front page. The front page will only display the last three elements in the news array.
