Ticker? That thing that beats in your chest! The OLD TICKER gave out!

I think maybe they mean like a scrolling marquee?

How it looks depends on what you want to put in it - so if you have troubles with it ask - they can do just about anything - from text to pics - to how fast they scroll to going forward and backwards, etc etc.

heres the scrolling text with color code just change red to what ever you want click on my link below and see the text scroll in red

<marquee behavior="scroll" direction="left"><span style="color:red">Your scrolling text goes here</span></marquee>

oh yeah meant to tell ya communityreponder your page needs a little more work reason being the main title needs to be shrunk down a tad letters are too big and you are repeating yourself with title name i saw four in same head area, and if you want your site to be search engine friendly take a look at your stats fix these and you should be search engine friendly...

Thanks some great ideas

Might have to come back to you re meta tags and robot tags.

I misunderstood the keywords issue, wrote a list for all the words relevent to the whole site. i will go back and edit the list to each page. a couple of the search engines said to provide a full list of keywords on the first page and they would do the rest.

Sorry this sounds a bit dippy but learning as i go.

(truth is have no idea at times).

This is my first attempt at web design, i realy appreciate your help and experiance.
