Ok, so Tara, you have a nice scrolly box thing for your buttons, which makes your blog look so much neater than mine :) I'm jealous!! I've searched for a code at all the websites I have bookmarked to find a button box scrolly thing widget, but can't find a THING!!! So enlighten us, oh wise community leader, and please reveal your super fantabulous secret code to make our buttons scoll :)

Of course, if anyone else happens to know the code and Tara hasn't responded, feel free to impart your wisdom as well !!!

Ok, this is the code for mine so see if it works for you.

<div class="textwidget"><marquee direction="up" onmouseover="this.stop()" width="250" scrollamount="4" onmouseout="this.start()" height="350" align="left">ADD THE INDIVIDUAL BUTTONS CODES IN HERE</a></marquee></div>

You can change the dimensions if you'd like.  Let me know if you have issues or questions.

Do you just install that in an HTML plugin on your sidebar or do you actually put it in your template?  I have been wanting to do one so I can start putting buttons on my blog. 
Also how did you get the link to your community in every post.  Is that in your template code too or do you copy and paste it into every post??  Thanks Tara!!

Tara,
I got it to work but your Christmas button is GIANT in my scroll and when I click it it goes to your photobucket page not to your blog???  Is that what you wanted it to do?

Oh wow!  I'm bookmarking this page - don't you feel honored, Tara? - and going to try this out later tonight!  Yeah!  More sidebar room coming up!

:-) You know I'm being sarcastic about the whole "honored" part, right?

Brandie, thanks for calling my attention to my fouled up button.  I had put the wrong code in and not linking it back to my blog.  Yes, this code is put into HTML but the community discussion link is part of the template.  It was discussed in one of the forums (either the BlogFrog Com. Leaders or BlogStar).  Rustin actually specifically made it for someone so if you can't find the code you could ask him.  I thought about removing it from my template but honestly, I can't find it in my code.  So, it stays.
 
My button code is right but it still may be gigantic when you put it into your scroll.  I am extremely OC and I like everything the same so all of my buttons are the same width and this will fix the issue.  In the code, you will see <img src.......
After <img add border="0" width="155"

Mandy, yes I feel like an honored goofball for having the wrong code.

THANK YOU!  I just added this to my blog and I so appreciate your help!  When we get forums that we can integrate I want to add this to my forum.  Would you consider doing a guest post on my blog about this?

Oh my goodness!  A guest post?  What would that entail because honestly I promise I am no expert and found the code on another blog (I don't remember which one).  Everything I've implemented on my blog was by teaching myself.  Let me know the ins and outs of your ideas and I'll def. consider!
