:( :(
Simply you have to delete "post-timestamp" script. So detect the script and delete it. But this is bad for SEO. Because search engine can't detect your post update time accurately.
Alternatively you can wrap your time-stamp script by conditional tag. So it will display on specific page only. Please visit below URL for Conditional tag details

Thank you. :)
plz help
using ijonkz 2.0
If your blog already containing another news ticker widget then this script will conflict with that. First remove the previous script completely and use this one.
Thank you :up
Just locate your Responsive script from your Blogger theme. And there below script. This will hide the NewsTicker in mobile device.
#spicenewsticker{display:none}
Thanks :)
Appreciate if that can be made possible.
Thanks in Advance

This ticker will automatically grab the post title and for grabbing the title it use Blogger RSS feed. So there has not any chance to show currency. If you add currency price in post title then it will display the currency price.
I am very glade to hear that. to change the background color please locate the below line from above script and change background-color:#252525; with different color code.
.BloggerSpice-ticker-title{font-size:12px;text-transform:uppercase;background-color:#252525;padding:0 10px;color:#FFFFFF;font-weight:bold}
Similarly to change the font just locate below line and change the font family.
font-family:'Helvetica',Arial,sans-serif;
Thank you.
is it possible?
