I had a number of friends with small sites who weren't extremely literate when it came to html/js, but who wanted to join in with the January 18th site blackout. We ended up creating this. It's a small one line piece of JS that people can add for a simple blackout wall with information on SOPA/PIPA.


Haha! I made the same thing last night!

Great minds think alike, eh?..


Haha, I was working on the same idea today!


I was going to today lol, thanks for saving me the trouble (i'm a noob when it comes to javascript.)

Thanks goes to Everyone who made one btw. - End Edit


Great job. You should add the following to the header:

"January 18th is Stop SOPA day"


A better choice of words than what we had. Changed!


Obligatory "you don't have friends".

Add a datetime check so I can set it and forget it.


Author of the js side here. I'll definitely look into seeing how much extra bulk will be needed for this. We're trying to keep the file as small as possible and generally as cross-browser friendly as possible.


We may provide that in the setup options - we've had a few people who wanted to have it up outside of the 18th.


datetime check feature added!
