Today I will show how you can add Automated Latest Posts News Ticker to your blogger blog. WordPress blogs can add these things easily by uploading the plugins but in blogger we have to manually add code for it. So this widget will show the 10 [can be increased or decreased] latest posts of your blog in a ticker box.

This ticker is fully automated and you just have to add URL of your blog and it will update the new posts automatically. The live demo of this widget can be seen by clicking the below Live demo button. This ticker will be below the two navigation bars.

Once you have seen the demo we can move on with the instructions of how you can add this news ticker to your blogger blog.

Editing HTML of your blog

First go to Blog Title → Template → Edit HTML. Press Ctrl + F and search for  <div id='content-wrapper'> and add the given code just above it.

<div style="width:970px;height:20px;position:relative;">
<script type="text/javascript">
var blog_url = "http://capoenk-01.blogspot.com/";
var latest_post = 10;
var scrolling_speed = "8";
var close_button = false;
var info_text = true;
</script>
<script src="https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/76401970/All%20Blogger%20Tricks/abt-ticker.js"></script>
</div>
<br />
<br />
<div style='clear:both;'/>
