Clickable Sidebar Text

Maybe you want a plugin like this? http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/advanced-text-widget/

I have used the standard WordPress text widget. Just drag it to the side bad and add the necessary html or javascript code. I have used this as a text scroller that fades in and out at:

I just helped myself to the code from the excellent http://www.dynamicdrive.com – (lots of very useful stuff here).
N.B. I am NOT a CODER, but even I can understand it!

The fader script is at:

You can have clickable hyperlinks – email addresses will work.
N.B. In this example I set the border width to 0px so just the text appears.
