Perfect - thanks ! I took a look at your site as well - some great code samples.

What a small world ! - hope they like living here.

You just need an html codeblock and an iframe.

First put the following codeblock on your page:

 [!-- [[code type="html"]] <HTML> <BODY> <marquee behavior="alternate" direction="left" bgcolor="#D5F8B4" scrollamount="6" onmouseover="this.stop()" onmouseout="this.start()" <a href="http://snippets.wikidot.com">Snippets/</a> <a href="http://kuler.adobe.com/#create/fromacolor">Adobe Kuler/</a> <a href="http://strathviewconsultants.wikidot.com">Strathview Consultants</a> </marquee> </BODY> </HTML> [[/code]] --]

Then underneath it add an iframe to reference that codeblock: 
 [[iframe http://yoursite.wikidot.com/yourpage/code/1 frameborder="0" scrolling="no" width="600px" height="50px"]]

This gives the result below. I have put an explanation of the different marquee parameters on my page here.

Edit: curiously Gareth I have an aunt and uncle who live in Bishops Cleeve.

Even better would be for the content items to be links that could be clicked.

I'm guessing some [[embed]] tag with a service would be the way to go …

Thanks in advance.
