Article | "Horizontal scrolling recent posts" for your blog

If you want this horizontal scrolling "recent posts" just below your blog Header, first you got to add extra "Add a gadget" to the blog Header section (more specific instructions at Adding "graphic" to blog Header)



When you have this extra "Add a gadget" (gadget were previously called page element), sign into Dashboard, click LAYOUT then the "Add a gadget" in the Head section. Chose the HTML/Javascript gadget:







then copy-paste this script into the HTML/Javascript gadget:

<script style="text/javascript" src="http://dreamydonkey.googlepages.com/scrolling_blogger_posts.js"> </script><script style="text/javascript"> var nMaxPosts = 15; var sBgColor; var nWidth; var nScrollDelay = 175; var sDirection="left"; var sOpenLinkLocation="N"; var sBulletChar="•"; </script> <script style="text/javascript" src="http://YOURBLOG.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default?alt=json-in-script&callback=RecentPostsScrollerv2"> </script>

Replace http://YOURBLOG.blogspot.com/ with you actual blog URL, preview, and if satisfied, save.

Caution

I tried varying some of the parameters (attributes) like changing



nScrollDelay = 175;

to

nScrollDelay = some number;



and got eratic results, among which were getting error messages when trying to access the edited blog like this one: Recreation and sport (blog only displayed by clicking OK in the error message. Would do more testing later if I find the time) (Update: managed to get rid of that irritating error message by changing templates, and finally by going to LAYOUT > EDIT HTML > click Revert widget template to default at the bottom of the page, publishing a few posts. Don't know exactly what cleared the problem. Will do somemore experimenting later)
