              'sortBy'        : 'timestamp',
              'reverseOrder'  : true,
              'scrollSpeed'   : 50,      
              'autoStart'     : true,
              'slideSpeed'    : 1000,
              'slideEasing'   : 'swing',
              'showControls'  : true
          });
       
      })
         
    })(jQuery);  
    </script>
    <!--[if lt IE 9]>
    <script src="//html5shiv.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/html5.js"></script>
    <![endif]-->

  • Replace MyBloggerLab with your twitter Username
All Done: Save the gadget by pressing “Save button” and that’s it. Now go ahead and visit the website to enjoy the marvelous tweet ticker widget.

Important TIP:There are three different text transection styles integrated in this ticker through which a person can select only one. By default, we have added a typewriter style to it, but anyone can change it according to his desire needs.

From the Above JavaScript coding Replace reveal with either fade or scroll (Make sure you write them in lowercase letters otherwise the widget would stop working).

Thats Kinda Weired. Try doing this

Go To Blogger.com >> Template >> Layout
Now Add a Gadget >> HTML/JavaScript
Now Type <style> Your_CSS_Here </style>

Now Remove "Your_CSS_Here" With your CSS Style Sheet Coding.
Hope That Helps. Peace and Blessings

The problem is that, You have Added "@lhevangelista" In the Twitter account you should add only "lhevangelista" Don't use "@". Hope that Helps. Peace

November 19, 2012 at 1:51 PM

Thank's for attention Syed, I'm revising and pasting again but not solving this problem.

The "scroll" effect doesn't work.

Editorial Team MOD
January 14, 2013 at 7:35 AM

Working fine, at our End. Use just scroll. Don't add any spaces or use capital letters.

March 8, 2013 at 2:13 PM

Added this yesterday and it was working grea. Haven't changed anything but this afternoon it stopped working. About an hour ago it randomly started working again and I figured it was just a fluke thing but now it's coming up blank again. Anything I could be doing wrong or is this somehow just unreliable?

Thanks! It's actually not on a blog. I put the code on a personal webpage that I hard-coded: www.popealarm.com.

March 8, 2013 at 4:01 PM

And... it's back up and working again. Very strange.

March 8, 2013 at 4:15 PM

One related question thouhg... It looks like it's posting the oldest tweet first, rather than the most recent. Any way to reverse it?

Editorial Team MOD
March 9, 2013 at 12:17 AM

Its Working, Very fine, And yes, it shows the latest tweet first. There is no way to reverse it.

March 23, 2013 at 6:56 AM

when i install it on my blog it stops my content slider, which also uses jquery, working.

Editorial Team MOD
March 23, 2013 at 9:16 AM

Seems as if, some Jquery files are conflicting. The reason why, your slider stopped working.

March 24, 2013 at 9:56 AM

How do I stop Jquery files from conflicting? Are you allowed more than one widget with jquery on the same page?

Editorial Team MOD
March 24, 2013 at 10:05 AM

If you can provide us the Url of your site then, we can help more easily.
