LED news ticker on the Reuters building at NYC.

Stand back, stand back, clear the decks… I need to experiment.

Here’s the scenario

Birds on the Blog has a brother, he’s young and just getting started. Birds needs to keep and eye on him without losing her own space and momentum. We all know siblings get up to and Birds wants to be supportive without interfering. What can she do?

Is there a thing such as a ticker (I know Blogmistress will tell me off, no moving, no distractions) that will go across the top of Birds to let her know what her little bro’ is up to?

A quick search shows me…

There is the notices ticker plugin

Then there is the news ticker plugin

and then there is this one, a ticker for a widget

It seems that keeping an eye on your little brother is an international thing ;-)

Have a look and let me know what you think will suit Birds needs best.

Over to you

    Well as Blogmistress’s little sis, I guess that this might include me too??

    umm, i know this might seem like a crazy suggestion, but what about just using the rss widget from the sidebar? :) I know it's not a ticker / moving & flashing away but it would let you keep an eye on little brother :D
