PPCG News Ticker
 
Since some of our users only visit the forums and don't regularly check our news blog, we've added a news ticker to the forum homepage. This shows up above the navbar and will scroll the last 5 articles posted to our news blog.

As the articles scroll by, you can move your mouse over them and click on the link to open the story in a new window.

wondering if you could edit the color according to different themes? kinda hard to read when using the dark blue theme

That's awesome. I'm one of the ones who often doesn't take the time to look through the news blog. I love it!
