For dojo closings, change Admin
Appearance|Customize|Widgets: Content Sidebar
You may have to wait a few beats for the widgets to appear at the bottom.
Open the “Widgets: content Sidebar” and then select and edit the “Text: Recent Updates” widget.

Copy the text from another notice, paste it at the top of the list of notices, and make it red. [style=”color:navy” change to style=”color:red”]

An example message:
– – – – – – – –
<h2 style=”color:red”>Dojo is closed Jan 15, 2014</h2>

Due to inclement weather the dojo will be closed Jan 15, 2014. It will re-open on the regular schedule the following day unless otherwise noted here.
– – – – – – – –
Do not include the hyphens and update the date 2 places. In the red heading, and in the body of the message. Don’t confuse everyone. Remember to turn off the closing notice after the day has passed.
