News ticker added

If you check the right column, right above my blogroll, you’ll see a new scrolling news ticker I’ve added – I want to add more than just Fox News (also wanted to add USAToday) but I’m not sure I can do it on the 14 day free trial. In the meantime, lemme know if you have any problems viewing it (like scrolling issues, etc).

Update: I switched over to the Yahoo News “Top Newstories” RSS feed, which includes stories from AP, Reuters, etc. I’m trying to see if this thing updates automatically or if I have to do it manually and I also need to find out how to add a second feed (like Fox) to the list. I’ve tried the instructions and they aren’t working for me. (Here’s the site I got the news ticker from – if you’re a blogger or other website owner, you may find some of what they have there useful)

I don’t see the right side of your page, unless I scroll over. I don’t do that often, ST.

…However, why would you choose USAToday? Isn’t that “paper” a bit on the light side?

Just wondering.

I see the ap feed, but nothing else. Is that all you are going to do? Add Fox News, MSN (for giggles), CNN (for the lib side), and the alpha networks for comedy.

What I may end up doing is instead of havnig a scrolling news ticker, I’ll create several non-scrolling news tickers and post them on one side of the page here so people can choose which ones they want to read.

I’m still experimenting with it and will keep ya’ll posted as to what’s what

If you don’t see the Peace and Justice story on them storming the White House on Mar. 15, you might want to put WorldNetDaily on your info scroll.

*chuckling*

Wonder if you can do a ticker of the most popular blogs and the newest additions to those blogs. Be interesting.

Or you could news ticker the lefty blogs like kos, so we can always see what the other side is thinking…..

Yes, I know we already know what they think, but sometimes you really need ot bring idiocy to light and remind everyone…..

Sanity, is that thinking or sewers flushing when you talk about Daily Krap, etc.? Over at Iowa Voice we got the real haters of the left trying to post. Most of it was incoherent. Some couldn’t even spell their cursing correctly.

I guess they didn’t like the way I called attention to my article about the loonies gathering to storm the White House to remove the Bush Administration.

True PCD, but sometimes people need to be reminded just how out of reality these people are.

And what just what kind of people we are NOT wanting to get thier hands on the Whitehouse…let alone any other position of power with those type of attitudes.

Fantastic..
I’ve been looking at this for wordpress too, I’ve found two wordpress specific solutions that appear to require more work than the pasty:
BDP RSS Aggregator
and CG-Feedread

But maybe i’ll just go the webpasty route and save a handful of hair.. Hmm.
Yours look really nice.

Doesn’t look bad, but the news seems to be from the AP feeds. Now, there’s a middle-of-the-road news org! Ohhhhhh, yeah! LOL

I like the way it freezes if you put your cursor over the box.
