Is there a way to modify the placement of the page elements for news items? I'd like to display the news title first, followed by date & author on the next line. I can modify the various blogxxx styles to change their appearance, but I don't see a place to change the order.

If the blog-posts macro, then is what we have on our Builder home page what you are after? That was done by using the display=excerpts parameter on the blog-posts macro and then applying CSS to hide the bits we didn't want.
For additional control, you'd have to start digging round the velocity files within Confluence itself, the downside being that each time you upgrade Confluence you'd have to make the changes all over again, taking in to account any changes that Atlassian made to the templates.

With the stuff Dan's been working on we could macro-ify the various elements of the page (news list and calendar, etc) but for things like the news list - which is essentially a blog-posts macro type of output - there's currently no way to tailor the structure of the output to precise needs. Then again, providing such features would be overkill for most people. As with anything it's a case of balance. I guess the benefit of having something that's mostly macro based but where macros are pretty static in their output allows best of both worlds because it makes it nice and easy to customise and allows people to create their own macros if they need more complete control.
