STEP 2: Edit the array called 'text' at the start of the script to contain the words which you want to appear. Enter links without the 'http://' but with the 'www.' and if you want text after a link, make sure there is a space after it.
STEP 3: Place a <div> element with 'id="rolling"' on your web-page containing some text which will show in case the script doesn't run (i.e. for people without JavaScript enabled). For example:
THAT'S IT When your page loads, the text you placed in the array at the start of the script will begin to smoothly scroll like some lost bus destination indicator.
