How To Add A “News Slider” Widget In Your Blogger/Blogspot (Java Script)

It is a News Slider widget, that runs on JavaScript. What it does is it displays a set of texts which scrolls upwards revealing another set of texts, kind of like a news ticker that behaves more like a chat box.

• Log in your Blogger .Then go to Design then Layout.
• Click on ‘Add a Gadget’ option placeholder where you want the news slider to appear.
• Select ‘HTML/JavaScript’
• Copy and then paste the code below into the ‘Content’ field (you may leave the ‘Title’ field blank)
