==Skill Level==
You must be comfortable with editing CSS and your [[Blogger template]].

==Description==
Adds a scrolling list in your template sidebar that changes on every page without having to republish your entire blog.

From the [http://www.wilkinsons.com/Bananna/2005/08/dynamic-scrolling-lists-in-blogger.html home page]:

There are many reasons why someone might want to create a dynamic scrolling list in the sidebar. For example:
* You have a list of links to other sites that you'd like to update occasionally without having to re-publish your entire blog
* You have a list that is dynamic (like a Blogroll), but it is getting too long to aesthetically fit into your template
* You have a list of links to posts in your own blog that you'd like to update occasionally without having to re-publish your entire blog
* You want to include another blog within your blog, allowing you to post little snarky comments, short book and movie reviews, etc.

==Method==

See the detailed instructions for template editing at the [http://www.wilkinsons.com/Bananna/2005/08/dynamic-scrolling-lists-in-blogger.html homepage].
