convert the notice/alert on frontpage into a custom post type
This issue is a place holder that I've been meaning to make for some time:
we generally shouldn't be encoding content (like alert announcements) into our templates; (why: best practice; also I'm constantly making commits when the alert changes; and I don't commit all of them...) \
so the solution would be to:
Make a custom post type named alert or notice; then make a WP_Query in frontpage.php would probably only be used on the frontpage (or could be included on top of every page either?)
