There's two ways of doing this.

1). Place a page group onto your home page. Reduce it in size to fit the news titles. Place a news item on every page of the page group and set it ti auto play.

2). Place the HTML widget on your home page and reduce it in size. Place marque HTML code into the widget and place your news titles into the code.

You can see what I mean by looking at the link. http://www.wix.com/colijohn/kevin

This is the code I used in the link.

<style type="text/css">

.html-marquee {height:30px;width:1030px;background-color:990000;font-family:Arial;font-size:15pt;color:CCCCCC;font-weight:bold;border-width:2;border-style:solid;border-color:990000;}

</style>

<marquee class="html-marquee" direction="left" behavior="scroll" scrollamount="10" >--- This banner was created using a marquee code and the HTML widget --- News item 1--- News item 2--- News item 3---</marquee><p style="font-family:verdana,arial,sans-serif;font-size:10px;"></a></p>

Hope that helps you.

Cheers, Colin

Thank you Colin, but what I was looking for is a more blog style posting... like the latest news on this website:

If all you want to do is place, the latest news in brief, onto your home page similar to the integro website then all you will have to do is reserve an area on you home page and fit the "latest new items" into it and link them to your "latest news page" or link to an external url for the the relevant blog. It's as simple as that.

Cheers, Colin

Sorry for the lack of proficiency, but where do I get the latest news item widget?

Also, by any chance do you know how to do a banner?

I did a banner with the image gallery but it's not the same, I just want one after the other and the gallery "slides" them one after the other

In my first post I supplied the code for the banner. Copy and past it into the HTML widget.

Banner code;

<style type="text/css">

.html-marquee {height:30px;width:1030px;background-color:990000;font-family:Arial;font-size:15pt;color:CCCCCC;font-weight:bold;border-width:2;border-style:solid;border-color:990000;}

</style>

<marquee class="html-marquee" direction="left" behavior="scroll" scrollamount="10" >--- This banner was created using a marquee code and the HTML widget --- News item 1--- News item 2--- News item 3---</marquee><p style="font-family:verdana,arial,sans-serif;font-size:10px;"></a></p>

To change the text (news item) just remove the text in the code marked in bold and replace it with your news item.

As with all banners the news items will continually repeat themselves. A banner is intended to draw the visitor to the latest items.

Cheers, Colin
