  Can a widget be added that tracks the stock market and updates every few minutes?

  Only if you can find an HTML-only one, and I don’t know of any. Those dynamic widgets usually use javascript, and it’s stripped out.

  I’m looking for something in html but I’m not finding it. I would think this would have to be a java type code which we can’t use at .com. If I do come across something useful in html I’ll let you know.

  Sanj would know, but I can’t find her massive “Codes for WordPress” thread right now.

  is your blog a wordpress.COM blog or is it self hosted? I just went to your site and I think you actually might be at the wrong forum. If you downloaded the software of wordpress, you should actually be here – wordpress.ORG/support

  and you will actually be able to have uploadable stock ticker widgets available to you.

  If you’re talking about the blog we discussed in the other thread, you’re in the right place.

  If you do a Google search on html stock ticker you might find one. We can’t use javascript, flash or iframes though.

  http://tickerfactory.com/ is the only ticker site i know of that gives html codes. but i don’t think you can find a stock ticker there! :(
  maybe you can link to an updating stock webpage from your blog if you find one?

  @diss and rain, thanks for remembering me! :D
  that post of mine IS massive, maybe i should promote it with a linked graphic on my sidebar!

  I think that’s a good idea. You put a lot of work into that and when the forum search went wonky we lost the ability to find your thread. It’s a great resource.
