Amber Alert Banner

[andee1]

I wasn't sure what catagory this would fit in at, if its in the wrong place please put it in the correct one. I also put it in General chit chat. Thanks!

I just got a email from Marantha Christian Journal and they have got a banner running on their website that posts Amber alerts. With all of the recent Amber alerts lately I thought I'd post the info so if anyone is interested in putting it on their own website you can check it out. Here is part of the email:

As you know, there has recently been a large number of reported child
abductions around the USA. Just this morning, another child was abducted in
my own county -- two men abducted a 9-year-old boy Wednesday from his home
in Palm Desert, California, and sped away in a white SUV.

In response to these crimes, Bryant Harper, President of BigHits.com, Inc.
has developed the Code Amber Alert Ticker to provide every web site owner
with the ability to display Amber Alerts on their site by adding their Alert
Ticker.

You can see the ticker at the top of our home page at:

[Only registered and activated users can see links. Either login above or Register Now]

and you can also get the coding for the alert by visiting
[Only registered and activated users can see links. Either login above or Register Now] When the Code Amber web site loads, select "Get a
Ticker".

The Code Amber Alert Ticker is a single line of code that loads a Java
Script from their server that is updated anytime they are notified of an
Amber Alert anywhere in the world.

I hope every one of you who owns a web site will use this public service on
your sites. The Code Amber Ticker and Web Site are completely advertising
free. If there are no active Amber Alerts, the Ticker will scroll
information about Code Amber and encourage your visitors to add the Ticker
to their sites. Clicking any link displayed in the Ticker will open a new
Browser window so your visitors never leave your site.

This is the best service I've seen hit the Web in a LONG time! Kids are
being abducted every single day. Let's help get some of them home! Please
use this alert on your web sites.

Best Wishes,

George Lawson

I think that is a phenomenal idea!!! Let's keep this bumped in the hopes that DOD Administrators will see it and support it.

What an amazing idea!!

No kidding! This is an excellent idea! And its not that big so surely it could be stuck somewhere.

I'm sure I can slip this in on the main forum page somewhere.. Will talk with Joel about it and see..

Now if they would start using it more.. It's a good system (Amber Alert that is), but I've heard a few cases where it was not used and should have been. Catching on though.

I just got back and noticed the banner on the main forum page. Thanks for putting it up. It really is a great idea ( both the internet version and how they use it on highway signs etc....) Lately, they have talked to alot of the parents whose children have been found using the Amber alert and they all have said how they didn't think they would have been found so quickly if it hadn't been for it. They are supposed to be working on some type of amber alert in NC too...it would be great if all states had something like this. Thanks again!
