Status bar: Time&Message

Author's Comments

Look carefully for specific instructions

This puts whatever you want into your status bar BUT it also automatically puts what time the person has been viewing your site, along welcome to your site. It's a marquee.
PLEASE CHANGE 'A QUOTE HERE' TO ANYTHING YOU WANT BUT THAT IS THE ONLY THING YOU MAY CHANGE OR ELSE EVERYTHING WILL BE MESSED UP.
