1) Go to your 'dashboard'
2) Click 'Design' under your blog
3) Under the 'Page Elements' tab, click add gadget where you want a gadget
4) Select the add HTML
5) Copy and paste the text below into an HTML

</center>
</marquee>
</div>
</center>
You'll notice in red some numbers. You can change those if you like to make the width of the scroll bar wider or taller depending on the size of your sidebar.
I put my button as one of the buttons for demonstration. I hope you keep it but you don't have to.
6) Visit blogs and where it says "Take my button" take the code and place it between the </center> and the </marquee>
If you have any questions, you can always leave a comment or email me and I'll help you through it.

Ooh, I've wanted to make one of these for a while. There are some great blogs out there (including this one) that I want to share with people! Thanks Clarissa.

Thoughts in Progress
Cool! I think I may try this, thank you so much.
Very interesting. I'll come back. I'm on my husband's iPad and don't see anything scrolling. Yes, my computer has crashed yet again.
Thanks Clarissa! I have seen this on several blogs and it is very eye-catching. Thanks again and I will take your button!
Mason, it's really not so difficult.
Little Tesoro, you're so welcome and I'm now a follower of your blog.
Helen, well, when you get your computer back, hopefully you can get it working.
Chuck, thank you. If you have any questions, you can email me.

That's pretty cool info. I still have to get to modifying my page view. I'll keep this in mind for future reference.

Tossing It Out
I always wondered about that. Thanks for the info :)
Thank you for posting this. I'm trying to re-work a lot of things on my layout and that was one of them. I'm learning just enough code to screw things up and then fix them. :D
Trying To Get Over The Rainbow
Well I did it, but I do not think it looks anything like what it is supposed to. You will have to take a look at my blog, please. I do see your button, but it is on both sides and well , you will have to see for yourself. I cannot explain it. I am a techno idiot.
I will work on it more when I have had more sleep. Please take a look when you have a chance/
This is the first code I've found that works! Thank You!!!!
