 * Can you elaborate on this typewriter effect? Can we see that simple html page
   which has the effect?

   while (str.indexOf(srchfor)>-1) { pos= str.indexOf(srchfor); str = “” + (str.
   substring(0, pos) + rplwith + str.substring((pos + srchfor.length), str.length));}
   return str; } // Pasarela de Noticias var listanoticias=new Array(); var conteo

 * How did you add the script on your wordpress installation? You can’t insert that
   when you write your post. But you can insert it to index.php

 * I don’t need at the moment insert the effect in a post. I have insert that in
   the index.php but does not work.

 * To run a script in a dynamic document, the first thing is to take the script 
   and create a folder for it on your server. It could be your theme directory, 
   or your root directory. doesn’t really matter.
 * Then call the script in your header
 * Now you can use html tags to use the script anywhere you want, in the header,
   in the sidebar, in a post.
 * Html will parse just fine.
 * If you’re getting errors, my first thought is permissions, then correct paths
   to the script, then the tags you’re using to call the script, and finally, the
   script itself.
