I thought i would share some tips & tricks that ive learned over time. Not sure how often ill get around to it but here is my first one.

How to put a rolling list on your blog:
I just stuck a list in my side bar thats called 100 things about me (granted there is only 40 of them in there at the moment but you have to start somewhere!). It looks like this:

• 38. I put things off

• 40. this list is hard to write - think ill finish it later

Im going to show you how to do a 10 things about me list. First off you'll have to click 'add a page element' on the page elements tab & choose HTML/Java Script. Then you need to paste this code into the box that comes up:

<div class="'widget-content'"><marquee direction="up" width="250" scrollamount="1" height="100"> <ul><span> <li>1. Enter Text Here</li> <li>2. Enter Text Here</li> <li>3. Enter Text Here</li> <li>4. Enter Text Here</li> <li>5. Enter Text Here</li> <li>6. Enter Text Here</li> <li>7. Enter Text Here</li> <li>8. Enter Text Here</li> <li>9. Enter Text Here</li> <li>10. Enter Text Here</li> </span> </ul></marquee></div>

Replace the 'Enter Text Here' parts with your own text. Give it the title '10 things about me (or whatever you like) and thats it! This is what the above code will look like before you put your own text in & add the header:

• 1. Enter Text Here
• 2. Enter Text Here
• 3. Enter Text Here
• 4. Enter Text Here
• 5. Enter Text Here
• 6. Enter Text Here
• 7. Enter Text Here
• 8. Enter Text Here
• 9. Enter Text Here
• 10. Enter Text Here

If anyone has any probs just let me know & ill attempt to try and figure out whats going wrong.
