Main Page Messages

From Homestar Runner Wiki

The Main Page messages alert visitors to what's new at homestarrunner.com. They appear at the top right of most Main Pages, and generally change color (and sometimes wording) when rolled over or clicked. They sometimes appear early on Monday morning to let people know that a new toon or Strong Bad Email will be released soon. This is a record of those messages.
