This post explains you how to add Scrolling text(also called as marquee)to your blog sidebars,blog posts,etc.
Another way to attract the visitors is adding some decoration to the site like scrolling text,etc.But,don't decorate it too much,particularly if your site contains too much text as it irritates and spoils the concentration of the reader.You can add scroll bars to tell your visitors what will be your next updates,popular posts,advertisements,etc.
So,how to add the scrolling text in your blog,let me explain it:
Adding simple scrolling text:
Here is the code to add a simple scrolling text from right to left side
<marquee>code to simple scrolling text</marquee>The output will be like:
Example 1:
If you want some more attraction,then try these,
Add a background color to the text,
<marquee bgcolor="#99CCFF">code to simple scrolling text</marquee>
Example 2:
You can choose your background colour by replacing the hexadecimal code(#99ccff).
Here are some mode attributes to learn:
direction="left" direction="right" direction="up" direction="down" |
The above attributes tells the text which direction to scroll.
Use the code below:
<marquee bgcolor="#99CCFF" direction="right">code to simple scrolling text</marquee>
Here is are some examples:

behavior="alternate"
Here is the code to do this:
<marquee bgcolor="#99CCFF" direction="right" behavior="alternate">code to simple scrolling text</marquee>Example 6:
You can also set the speed of the text with this simple attribute:
The lower the scrollamount value, the less the speed it moves,
the html code for this:
example 7:(for scrollamout =2)
Example 8:(for scrollamount=5)
Pausing the text when mouse is over the text:
It is very useful when the reader wants to read the text,and the scrollamount is big,sothat he will put the mouse over the text to pause the text and read the matter:
Here is the code to do this
Example 9:
