Does anyone know of a RSS news ticker that works in Convio and is customizable? It doesn't have to be a free one. We want to install it on our homepage to feed articles from Storybuilder (via the RSS feed on our site), and need to be able to crop the ticker to about 150 x 100 px.

Many thanks for any input.

    Ok, breakthru ... I managed to get our RSS feed to work thru www.rss-to-javascript.com. I used the "Convert a Feed (Fancy)" converter where you can customize the look easily. Had to paste in the original code with the wysiwyg editor turned off (or, like embedded videos from youtube, it won't work).

    It's live at www.icejusa.org/reus_news_ticker in case anyone wants to see this in action.

    Ok, the feed from did not prove to be reliable, so I swiched to and it works well.

    By the way, if you're having trouble getting your RSS feed to render in IE (as I did), a handy workaround is . You can customize your feed there and then just link to it from your website wherever you want to advertise your RSS feed.

    So, if you go to www.icejusa.org/news_main and hit the RSS link, you can see how ours is working.

    You can also use the free service Feedburner for the same sort of thing. www.feedburner.com
