There was a post on the creator site that added a custom, scrolling message to the xn bar.  I can't remember if it was CSS code or Java Script.  I used it on my site, then deleted it when I changed themes.  Is this any different that that?

Yeah, different. The Hello Bar is a third party and a bit spiffier, but could take longer to load.

 

Here's the tip for scrolling message:

If you use this tip, please read tip carefully. You will need to use/edit the tip's attached text file, due to the Ning platform striping an important parameter (the word "position") - - for security reasons.

Thanks, Jen.  Will give the Hello Bar a try when it is available.
