Question for the computer savvy

Ok I added a ticker for weight loss to my profile, but I have no clue as to how to update that as I lose weight. If someone knows how would you mind sharing your wisdom with the not so brightest crayon in the box???? TIA Take care, Anita

Morning Anita ... Most people just make new tickers every now and then. I've tried updating their code and only got changes to work once, and I think it was because I was standing on my left foot, rubbing my head with my left hand, while humming "God Bless America" when I did it. Take the easy way out and just make a new one every so often. Myra

myra, how do i make a ticker for weight loss for my profile? THANKS, SANDRA A.

Sandra, Hi! There are several places on the web that offer free tickers ... www.tickerfactory.com or http://www.3fatchicks.com/weight-tracker/index.php are two that I see used most. They're pretty simple to make, the websites basically "walk you through" creating a sticker. Once you've chosen your graphics, entered your weight info, and finished making the ticker, they will provide a few different types of code to use ... you always want the HTML code for webpages. Just copy the code (highlight it all, control-c or right-click/copy), then paste it (control-v or right-click/paste) into your profile update (or onto a notepad if you're uneasy having more than one website open at a time, you can save it to a text file this way for your records, so if you lose or foul the code and don't want to start over you have it available). One thing to remember about weight tickers. They don't auto-update. You have to go in and make a new one every so often, and then repeat the copy and paste into your update. The only one that I've seen auto-update is one marking a date (like the one my profile marking time post-op). It's just been changing automatically as time passes. Sorry, lengthy explanation, but I get asked this alot by members when I do their profile redesigns. I'll be glad to help you, Sandra. Just email me. Myra
