   Hello,
   this following code displays a basic horizontal marquee for the 5 recent posts. I would like that the titles are seperated by a space and a symbole of my choice. exaple: "title1 | title2 | title3...".

   I hope you could help with this. I googled to find a ready marquee but I didn't find anyone. I think many would use it a the head of the page. and it is so attractive like as a slideshow.

   <marquee behavior="scroll" direction="right">
   <h2>
   <?php
   	$args = array( 'numberposts' => '5');
   	$recent_posts = wp_get_recent_posts( $args  );
   	foreach( $recent_posts as $post ){
   		echo '<a href="' . get_permalink($post["ID"]) . '" title="Look '.$post["post_title"].'" >'.   $post["post_title"].  '</a>';
   	}
   ?>
   </h2>
   </marquee>

   Thanks very much. It is working. It was originally a list, but it works also as a scrolling marquee. I putted it above the mainpage. So, anyone who want a scrolling marquee he can use this.

   I tested other possibilities, and it seems that it works when i add a symobol in the echo line before the <a... and after the /a>, to get title between << >> as example.

   This is great, thanks!

   I would like to show the latest post from one category, and then the latest post from a second category so it would be like

   New Category1 Post: Post1 title | New Category2 Post: Post2 Title

   I can't work it out though!

   Thanks.

   This is what I have been looking for. I love what you have done, but wonder one thing. How can I get the featured image to pull up associated with that post?
