Great Support! Eric really helped out, and it looks terrific, I would recommend!

Easy installation

Don’t know a thing about coding? You’re in luck. jNewsticker for Wordpress is designed to be as painless as possible, regardless of your technical expertise. Just install the plugin, configure a news ticker and drop it into one of your theme’s widget ready areas or into any post with the shortcode.

View this video for a straightforward demonstration of how quickly you can put together a news ticker with jNewsticker for Wordpress.

Flexible framework

Developers, we thought of you too. The plugin comes pre-packaged with support for adding news items from RSS feeds, Twitter, Facebook, recent posts and recent comments out of the box, but you can take advantage of the plugin’s flexible framework to register your own data sources. None of the bundled skins doing it for you? Creating your own is as easy as creating a CSS file and registering it with the plugin.
