Are you a progressive, socially conscious, public-minded person? Do you run a progressive, socially conscious, public-minded web site? The RIPPLE OF HOPE Action Ticker is free, dynamic content for your site that will connect you and your users with ways to improve the world. In these three simple steps, and with minimum html skills, you can put the RIPPLE OF HOPE Action Ticker on your site. As long as you follow these instructions, this service is entirely free.

(Note: The code below was updated on Sept. 24, 2004, to include this new feature.)

STEP 1: Paste this code between the <head></head> tags of your html document:

<style type="text/css">

width: 740px;
background:#f90;
margin: 15px 0 0 0;
padding: 2px 0 0 0;

font-size:13px;
font-weight:bold;
}
#actionticker a:hover {
color:#000
}

</style>
STEP 2: Paste this code between the <body></body> tags of your html document where you want the ticker to appear:
<!-- Begin #actionticker -->

&target=_new&rss_title=Action Ticker&speed=2&height=20&width=740&pause=1&type=3">
</script>
</div>
<!-- End #actionticker -->
STEP 3: If desired, edit the code marked in green to change the colors and ticker speed and width to match your site. Please do not alter any other code. For more information about formating and other ticker options, refer to the RSS-to-JavaScript web site.
