The scrolling or running active text or links you have seen on most magazine type websites are called the marquee text also known as marquee effects. The good example for this are the text scrolling below my menu bar and above this post that is running from right to left. Those texts are active that when you click it, you will be redirected to another page of this site (try to hit one, don't worry, another tab or window will open).
If you want to get one for your blog, I hope the details below may help.
The marque codes below are the codes of the marquee text you see scrolling in this post.
<marquee align="center" direction="left" onmouseout="this.start()" onmouseover="this.stop()" scrollamount="3" width="100%"> Free Blogger Tutorial <b> » </b> <a href="http://www.freedomwall.net/2009/10/free-customized-blogger-domain-using.html" target="_blank">Free Customized Blogger Domain using .co.cc</a> - <a href="http://www.freedomwall.net/2009/11/how-to-change-blogger-favicon.html" target="_blank">How To change Blogger Favicon</a> - <a href="http://www.freedomwall.net/2009/11/index-your-blog-posts-automatically-to.html" target="_blank">Index Your Blog Posts Automatically to Google Search</a> - <a href="http://www.freedomwall.net/2009/11/facebook-is-top-social-networking-site.html" target="_blank">How to Increase Blog Traffic Using Facebook</a> - <a href="http://www.freedomwall.net/2009/11/blogger-template-customization-made.html" target="_blank">Blogger Template Customization Made Easy</a> - <a href="http://www.freedomwall.net/2009/11/earn-100-on-paypal-wishlist-on-facebook.html" target="_blank">Earn $100 Through PayPal Wishlist on Facebook</a> </marquee>
Copy the code above and change all in red colors with your own URLs and change the colored yellow with its corresponding titles. The number in pink is the number which you can alter in order to change the speed of the running text
If you want to add new URL and title copy the code below and insert it just before the </marquee> code.

Use exactly the same code format from above if you want to delete one entry.
Now, if you have change the URLs and their corresponding titles, Go to your Blogger account's 'layout' tab and 'page elements' sub tab. Click on 'Add Gadget' on a column you want it to place and paste your copied-updated codes then save it. You can also drag the said gadget above the body or anywhere you wanted it to appear.
