This can be accomplished by logging into your administrator panel (back-end). Goto module manager and unpublish the latest news module. Then goto your static content that you wish to place in advert1. Copy all content in the white-box (editor section) then go back to module manager once again. Create new custom module by clicking new. In the editor box (white box) hit ctrl-v on your keyboard to paste. Then publish the new module to advert1 and it should appear as desired.
Good Luck!

Yeah, finding out about creating custom modules really helped me have more control over content layout with Joomla. It was the missing key and I read about it right here on these forums.

Thanks James.
What is the difference between creating static content in a Module and creating static content in general?
If I create static content in Joomla, can I assign it to a module position, or does it only show up in the main content area?

Static content places content in the Mainbody area. Custom Modules places content in module positions.

Cool, thanks.
How does one link to static pages without creating a menu position for them?

any hyper-link in content or a module will work if you do not wish to create a menu item for it...

How do you go about finding out the url to use for the link?

setup a temporary menu link to all your static-content items...
then copy and paste your links into a blank notepad doc for safe-keeping...
then reference the notepad doc while building the content or modules with the links...

In follow up on Wage. Give the temp menu links special access only. Like this guests and registred users will never see them, even when the site is live.
