  I’m sorry if this question has been asked before. I just started on here and I’m trying to figure out how to use a ticker. I’ve seen blogs where the ticker is always close to the top of the page…never changes. How do I put a ticker on my blog?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  We cannot use countdown tickers that have restricted code in them on wordpress.com blogs as the software will strip the code out to preserve security. http://en.support.wordpress.com/code/ However there are 6 different free third party sources of countdown tickers that I located and tested, and that do work on wordpress.com blogs. You will find them in this post. http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2008/03/11/how-to-add-a-countdown-ticker-to-your-blog/
