I go to the Christy's Corner clinic. I live in St. Albert and work in Edmonton so it's on my way to work!

That's the same clinic I go to. I work close by so it's easy for me to slip out and get there at any time. So far I've found all the nurses but one great. And the doctor is awesome.

Brian - I am using the progress chart that can be found in the resources thread. I would like to add my ticker to a document (I don't think I can add it to an Excel document) but I would like to add it to something so that I have it somewhat together. Do you know how I copy my ticker to paste it somewhere else? Thanks once again for all your help.

If you just want a static graphic to add to a document, you can just right click on your ticker image and choose "Save Picture As". Then you'll have a file on your hard drive that you can bring into your document. If whatever you want to put it in can handle HTML tags, then there is a way you can link to your ticker in the document.

The HTML tag for your ticker is:

Code Sample

That's only useful if the document can handle HTML tags tho.

Brian the tickers are a great idea. You've done a great job here (these forums)! Thanks.

Thanks Pam! In fairness, I didn't come up with the ticker idea, I just made it a little friendlier than the other ticker generator tools out there on the web.

I like to update my ticker right after getting home from the clinic. It's amazing to see the progress everyone make. Sure keeps me motivated.

Different browsers "cache" the image for different lengths of time. In general the browser should cache it for no more than an hour after which time you should see the new image. If you're using Internet Explorer on Windows, and you are on a page that has your ticker on it, you can do Ctrl+F5 and that will "force" refresh everything on that page (including your ticker).
