Description

Whoa, this is the first module in good use that has no open issues! Great work! But I will change that (the no open issues thing ;-)

It would be nice to have "Read more..." link in the announcements block. Depending on theme, it is not obvious that the title is clickable, so users will tend to glance over and not dive into the announcement.

If there are more announcements than the block is set to show, there is a "more" link to the announcements page. If you promote announcements to the front page (my preference) with only the abstract, there is a "read more" link. I am concerned that a second "more" link in the block would be very confusing.

I tend to agree here that adding that "more" link in the block maybe confusing. What I would prefer to see instead is just a listing of the titles, without the abstract, in the block. Is this possible? BTW, this is another functional module that I like. Congratulations :-)

I can probably add a setting for this.

Okay, there are now options to show the title only and a read (icon) link in the block.
