 * I installed the ticker and followed the documentation on your website but the
   ticker isn’t scrolling. I added the shortcode to the top content widget (above
   post). Visit site at: p h i t n e s splusDOTcom (remove all spaces beginning 
   with p).
 * FYI: I’ll give you WP admin access to get ticker working.
 * Awaiting help

 * If you want to place a ticker in a widget area you need to use the Ditty News
   Ticker widget. Normal text widgets don’t have the ability to render shortcodes.
