Marquee Or Scrolling Ads
On a blog or website you need to find ways to group like things together to save valuable space that you might want to use for showcasing other important things like an article list or recent posts.

Then Type/copy the following code:
You can change the height and width to fit whatever area you are working with.
You can play around with the scrollamount number to have your scrolling go faster or slower. The higher the number the faster your marquee will scroll.
The loop="true" tells the marquee to keep going and going and going. You can also use loop="2" where 2 is the amount of times you want your marquee to scroll and then stop

If you want to make text to scroll then just change the
