Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

Your problem is that you have not activated the relevant feature on the site settings page. You need to go to the site collection site settings page. Then select Site Actions - manage site features

Then activate the feature called Team Collaboration lists. You will now be able to create an announcement list
