Can this be done on this site, I'm referring to the scrolling AMBER ALERT banner at the top of the page.

http://www.ksconcealedcarry.com/index.php


To my way of thinking, ANYONE visiting this site will automatically see that we do things FOR THE KIDS (Brownie points)

I also think it would be a good idea. That's easy for me to say, without any responsibility to set up and maintain, but it's still a good idea.

It's on the home page, for now. We'll see how it goes over.

Brit, I attempted to get this on my military forum. I've met with some resistance. I think it doesn't hurt the site at all and I like the banner placed on this site.

I'd greatly prefer if the alerts were more granular: I don't really think it's useful to post California alerts. If anyone can track down the right RSS feed, I'll do the coding (or better yet, cajole Grayskys to do it!)

I just called the MN BCA about a more localized banner. The best they will/can do is provide a link to their website. No RSS feeds, no javascript, etc :(

And their web site isn't even accurate. There have certainly been local amber alerts since 2004. :( If this were my company's job, we'd have it up in a day.

Government at its best. :(

For a variety of reasons, I'd rather not have it on the website -- whoever put it up, please take it down.

Certainly if there was a MN (WI?) feed, and it only popped up when it was active, that'd be great.

I did not like the fact that CANCEL INDIANA + entire amber alert was scrolling on it (yesterday?).
