Creating a Ticker to Monitor Your Numbers

[Stephanie]

If you want to make a ticker and don't know how... here's how:

HOW TO CREATE A TICKER

-Click this link: http://www.tickerfactory.com/ezticker...

-Pick a pin number you'll remember...
-As your "object", type "books".
-Your cumulative value will be how many books you have read.
-Target is 175 (that is approximately how many total books we will read from the lists combined.)
-The message (optional) will be like a title. (Ex - On Candace's ticker, above, "Candace's ML Challenge Goal".)
-Click next.

-Navigate through the "More Designs" pages and select a "ticker" bar. Once you've selected the one you want, hit next.
-Navigate through the "More Designs" pages and choose a "ticker slider", and then click next again.

Voilà! Your ticker is made!

To get your ticker to appear here, copy the HTML code (not the bbCode)... the one that starts with "-Enter your pin and your current points (as the "current cumulative value")
-Click next THREE TIMES.
-Copy and paste the HTML code where the old one was...it will update the count on the page!

Note: You won't need to re-bookmark the page. The website will save your current point total for you.

Thanks for the instructions on this! I'm going to be adding one soon.

It's fun and really easy to use. :) Lisa got me into making them.

Dawn -

If you could make a new thread for the ticker section and copy and paste your ticker into it, that would be good. We have a special section set up for everyone's tickers. This thread is really just for directions and questions.

Thanks! :)
