Add splash screen?

[deleted-user-OlpHy1NoMNug]

I haven't seen an example of this but is it possible to add a splash screen to any of the story maps?  We're self-hosting our story maps.

Since the story map is based on dojo you could create a splash once the following event is run (map journal as an example):

  topic.subscribe("tpl-ready", function(){
  /*
  * Custom Javascript to be executed when the application is ready goes here
  */

  console.log("Map Journal is ready");
  });

Hello Tim

Thanks for you sample code.  I want to add a splash page into a story map using the "Story Map Journal".  I want to be sure I am following the steps proper.  First I want to down load the template. Then within the Index.HTML file, in the JavaScript portion near the bottom of the file.  Do you mind sharing the rest of your code with me?  You can email me at AntoineBartholomew@gmail.com or post it within the thread.

Here's an example of a Story Map Journal with a splash/cover page added via customization. It was created by Esri Colombia: http://geoapps.esri.co/salgar/
