After the sensational success of Scrolling News Update Headline Tickerfor Blogger and due to the large number of requests we received from our loyal readers, we are so delighted to present you the fresh and enhanced version of headline ticker which is enhanced with RSS Feeds so we don’t need to update our ticker again and again, which means it will update automatically with the help of RSS Feeds. Getting our readers up to date is the most significant task for a blogger but due to stretched (tuff) schedule most of blogger are unable to notify their visitors with their latest Featured posts. This is the reason why we have coded a brand new Headline Ticker which will update automatically, so we can sit back and enjoy a cup of tea while our ticker updates on automation.

I know you would love to Preview the widget so before we proceed to our tutorial, let us look at the live demo of this widget.
