Bloggers can be so nice and friendly! I just love it. I was reading the entries for the Bloggy Carnival Giveaway and whenever someone says they have added my button or blogged about my giveaway I always go take a look at the link they provide. I find some really great blogs this way too. Yesterday, one of them was to the Live Laugh Love and Bloggings blog so I went to take a look. The owner had a nifty scrolling marquee of blog buttons in her sidebar. I sent an email to Christine and thanked her for including my button on her blog and told her that I thought the scroll was very cool. Christine took the time to reply back and even give me the code she used without me even asking. A very nice deed indeed!
So, as you can see over to the right in my sidebar, I now also have a nifty scrolling marquee of some of my favorite blog buttons for you all to peruse. The majority of you should be able to see it, although there is a chance one or two of you may not due to compatibility issues (sorry about that).
If you have your own blog and want to include the code, here you go. Add the first part ABOVE the buttons. Then insert the code for all the buttons you want to appear, finally add the end tags of the code at the ending.
<div align="center"><marquee onmouseover="this.stop()" direction="up"onmouseout="this.start()" scrollamount="3"loop="true" width="125" height="400">
REMOVE THIS LINE AND REPLACE WITH CODE FOR BUTTONS YOU WANT INCLUDED
</marquee></div>This code will center the images, be a width of 125, and the total area will be 400 pixels long. You can change the alignment to left or right (just replace the word center above). You can also change the dimensions, and even the speed (higher than “3” will be faster, lower will be slower. The direction is up in the example, but that is changeable as well. You can see in my blog roll that I have changed it to go left instead and then I redid the dimensions to be just 125 tall, but then I made the width a little wider. Just play around with it until it fits for your blog.
Thanks again to Christine for sharing. Let me know if you try it on your own blog.
