You should be able to use some javascript for example maybe some jquery roller for this purpose. Provided that you blog may have RSS/ATOM feed which can be used a source for the roller. In AbleCommerce gold first you can create a website page under Administration > Website > Webpages to hold roller HTML/script and then use layout editor to use CustomHTML control in desired layout's sidebar. This control will render the HTML/script from Webpage you created in sidebar of pages. Hopefully this will be helpful!

Thanks Mazhar,
I already found some code online somewhere and used it in the CustomHTML control and it works. Now I have my last few blog posts for sales and giveaways displayed on every page in the store.
Now after I did all that, I see the Plugables already has a free Feed Reader for AC:

His site wasn't working last weekend when I needed it. When I get some time, I will try his control. It will probably look better than mine.
Thanks again,
Scott
