Drop down Sub Menu in Blogspot

The IndiBlogger forum is now a read-only archive. Every public discussion is still here to read, but new topics and replies are closed.

Was looking out to implement this feature in my blog. I already have the Menus/categories in place below the header. I would love to organize it further with drop down menus for the relevant categories like --

for eg. Holi, Diwali, Ganesh Chaturthi could be the sub-menus under the main menu "Festivals"

Tried googling for it but no help now that the blogger interface has changed Cry

Any help highly appreciated Smile

Dear Arti can you pl tell me how you were able to put the headings in blogpsot like Festivals Photography etc I want to do the same for my blog which is also blogspot thks a ton Sujoy

Thanks @Sujoy for putting forth the query here. The trick is-->

(New Blogger Interface) Dashboard -> Pages -> New Page -> Web Address ->

Page title: The heading you want to be shown.

Web Address: The address when you click on the label (for eg, for your blog-- click on 'Himalayas' from the category list and take that url).

---> Save.

In this manner, any number of pages can be added under the header and a page will show all the relevant posts under a particular label. If you still need further clarifications, pls do let me know Smile

Thanks a lot Pratik for the link. They do have a lot of menus made up. But I was actually looking to add the drop downs to my existing menus, that I have right now on my blog retaining the same formatting. That link does have something on those lines too, but again its done with the old blogger interface, cant understand much from it.. :(

After The Fool's review I have been planning on having those headings on my blog. I already have pages there. But as they say, woman proposes and God disposes. One or other thing has stopped me from changing my blog. Now time for exams and so it has to wait until May. 

Arti

I understand Faridaji, it happened to me also. But in my case, it was my sheer laziness.. took such a long time to implement this page feature. But feels good to have finally done it, all credits goes to TF, it was his review that led me into doing it. Now for that drop down, will try. Anyways, All the very best for your exams Faridaji Smile

@Arti

Using the tutorial at myblogger tricks you can do that,if old interface is the concern you can swith to old look I guess,I switched to old look few days back as I dont like the new look

Arti

Thanks Neeraj for chipping in. Will try as suggested.

I dropped the idea of drop down menu, since there is warning in case of faulty incription it might lead to misfunctioning of the blog itself.  Being a non techie i did not want to risk it.

Umesh, I can help you if you trust meSmile

@Umesh

Even for the same reason I havent played enough with mine till the time I exlpore html,css,js on my own but I dont have time.But you can do one thing you can create a test blog with the same theme and experiment it there but again you need enough time for that

Arti
from Mumbai |

Yes, I am thinking of getting started with this experimentation in a day or two.

@Arti

That is great then others including me will be taking tops from you.If you wanna learn html css itself

I tried but this dint happen. Switching to the old layout and then copying the code from a site also dint help. Plus there are issues of browser compatibilty and so on Innocent So, I thought that I did better stick with whatever Blogger is offereing right now and wait for it to introduce new features.

Till then, a workaround could be Drop down combo boxes as Umeshji has suggested in his above reply. Dhiraj Shenoy's - Team G Square blog has that feature, if anyone is interested in implementing it, pls check it out. It will help categorize your post neatly in suitable sections.  Looks good to me and I am planning to go for that myself.

Thank you for all the help, I will be here again if any guidance is again needed Smile
