Adding a Marquee

The marquee is a header or footer element that can display scrolling content.

Using the Marquee

One of the elements you can incorporate into your header and footer is called the Marquee. 

The Marquee will cycle through entries horizontally and utilizes continuous scroll, it does not have an option for showing just a single entry at a time.

The Marquee has several content options that can be displayed. These include breaking news entries, recent headlines, recent scores, upcoming games (if you have the Site Booster add-on), and custom text.

Adding the Marquee to your header or footer

1. Click on the SNO Design Options link under Appearance on the left navigation bar in the WordPress dashboard.
2. Click into the Site Designer tab.
3. Within the header or footer designer portions of this page, click Add Row and position as desired.
4. Click on Add Content and select Marquee.
5. Configure the content and design settings as needed.
