Awesome scroll bar

Those of you who read my blog via feed reader are missing out. My blog now features a spiffy scrolling news bar featuring my twitter updates. My Twitter “ticker” scrolling news bar is a one of a kind.

The best bit is that I coded it myself. I feel so l33t. Is that even how you write l33t?

Here’s the code:

<div id=”twitterscroll”>Your Name <FONT color=”#000000″><MARQUEE bgcolor=”#ffffff” direction=”left” scrollamount=”3″ loop=”20″ display=”inline” align=”left” width=”85%”>
<div id=”twitter_div”></div>
<script src=”http://twitter.com/javascripts/blogger.js” type=”text/javascript”></script> <script src=”http://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline/$TWITTERUSERNAME.json?callback=twitterCallback2&amp;count=10″ type=”text/javascript”></script>
</MARQUEE></FONT></DIV>

CSS:
#twitter_update_list li
{
display: inline;
list-style-type: none;
padding-left:20px
}
