have you put the variable $news, or have you put the variable $news[value]?
$news is an Array, $news[value] shouldn't be.

edit: i see you did ;)

A question...

If I am trying to make a variable editable in the Admin Cp, so you can input a list of random words to be chosen at random,

a.) How would you make the variable choose a word at random
b.) How would you make it so that the words can be defined in the Admin cp?
