KARL has a way to do a site-wide banner message. We discussed moving this to the top-row, above the black stripe. We'll re-invent the banner message to make it a little more usable.

* Instead of a single rich-text block, it will have a title and a body.

* The title should be pretty short, to fit on one line on most responsive design targets

* A link with "more" or some other element which makes the box taller, showing the announcement body

* Two types of announcements: always-visible or dismissible. If the latter, than that particular instance of an announcement can have an (x) that the user can click to make it go away. (But the next announcement posted would appear.)

* Get Balazs/Carlos/Blaise to animate the closing

* Style the announcement any way you'd like. For example, notification vs. warning with a cute little symbol

Like other things, consider all six dimensions for this box: big desktop, little desktop, tablet landscape/portrait, phone landscape/portrait.
