I was working on a special page to replace my blog at sam.abuelsamid.com on Wed, but this makes it a lot easier and automates the switchover with a redirect to the americancensorship.org page.

Want to join the SOPA #blackout on January 18th? Running WordPress? Here's how to have your site black itself out, then turn itself back on, right on time:
Make a backup copy of your index.php
Overwrite the contents of index.php with the code below. When the time comes, every page on your site will automatically redirect to http://americancensorship.org/infographic.html

*@package WordPress
*//**
* Tells WordPress to load the WordPress theme and output it.
*
*@var bool

define('WP_USE_THEMES', true);/** Loads the WordPress Environment and Template */
date_default_timezone_set("EST");
$start_time = mktime(8,0,0,1,18,2012);
$end_time = mktime(20,0,0,1,18,2012);
$timenow = time();
if (($timenow > $start_time) && ($timenow < $end_time)) {
header("Location: http://americancensorship.org/infographic.html");
} else {
require('./wp-blog-header.php');
}
?>
