Are you looking for an unobtrusive way to add splash content to your website? In this edition of Code Pick I am going to show you an easy, user friendly, and free way to add content to your site through a splash interface.

It was originally created to serve a specific purpose, however, by adding additional functionality to it, Jarod has found several uses for it and you might too.
