+               <strong>The Jalview Desktop RSS News Reader</strong><br /> The
+               Jalview Desktop includes a built in news reader for the <a
+                       href="http://www.jalview.org/feeds/desktop/rss">Jalview Desktop
+                       News Channel</a>.
+       </p>
+
+       <p>We will use the desktop news channel to keep you informed of
+               important updates relevant to users of the Jalview desktop, such as
+               web service outages and user community events.</p>
+       <p>The news reader will be launched automatically when you start
+               the Desktop if new items are available. Should you want to browse
+               older items, however, you can open it manually from the 'Jalview news
+               reader' option in the Desktop's 'Tools' menu.</p>
