Hi guys, I have brought you a killer gadget for your blog. Add this gadget and make your blog more interesting. Lets start.

First go to Layout >> Edit HTML. Remember to tick on Expand Widget Templates. Now press CTRL+F. Then you can see a search bar. Type </head>   on the search bar. You can see in the HTML box the code </head> is highlighted. Now paste this code below the </head> code.

<script src='http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.3.1/jquery.min.js' type='text/javascript'/>
<script type='text/javascript'>$(document).ready(function() { //Get all the LI from the #tabMenu UL$(&#39;#tabMenu &gt; li&#39;).click(function(){//perform the actions when it&#39;s not selectedif (!$(this).hasClass(&#39;selected&#39;)) { //remove the selected class from all LI $(&#39;#tabMenu &gt; li&#39;).removeClass(&#39;selected&#39;);//Reassign the LI$(this).addClass(&#39;selected&#39;);//Hide all the DIV in .boxBody$(&#39;.boxBody div&#39;).slideUp(&#39;1500&#39;);//Look for the right DIV in boxBody according to the Navigation UL index, therefore, the arrangement is very important.$(&#39;.boxBody div:eq(&#39; + $(&#39;#tabMenu &gt; li&#39;).index(this) + &#39;)&#39;).slideDown(&#39;1500&#39;);}}).mouseover(function() {//Add and remove class, Personally I dont think this is the right way to do it, anyone please suggest $(this).addClass(&#39;mouseover&#39;);$(this).removeClass(&#39;mouseout&#39;);}).mouseout(function() {//Add and remove class$(this).addClass(&#39;mouseout&#39;);$(this).removeClass(&#39;mouseover&#39;); });//Mouseover with animate Effect for Category menu list$(&#39;.boxBody #category li&#39;).click(function(){//Get the Anchor tag href under the LIwindow.location = $(this).children().attr(&#39;href&#39;);}).mouseover(function() {//Change background color and animate the padding$(this).css(&#39;backgroundColor&#39;,&#39;#888&#39;);$(this).children().animate({paddingLeft:&quot;20px&quot;}, {queue:false, duration:300});}).mouseout(function() {//Change background color and animate the padding$(this).css(&#39;backgroundColor&#39;,&#39;&#39;);$(this).children().animate({paddingLeft:&quot;0&quot;}, {queue:false, duration:300});});//Mouseover effect for Posts, Comments, Famous Posts and Random Posts menu list.$(&#39;#.boxBody li&#39;).click(function(){window.location = $(this).children().attr(&#39;href&#39;);}).mouseover(function() {$(this).css(&#39;backgroundColor&#39;,&#39;#888&#39;);}).mouseout(function() {$(this).css(&#39;backgroundColor&#39;,&#39;&#39;);}); });</script>

Now find the code ]]></b:skin> by pressing CTRL+F. Now paste this code before the code ]]></b:skin>.

#tabMenu {margin:0; padding:0 0 0 15px;list-style:none;}#tabMenu li {float:left;height:32px;width:39px;cursor:pointer;cursor:hand}/* this is the button images http://amatullah83.blogspot.com*/li.comments {background:url(http://sites.google.com/site/amatullah83/bg/tabComment.png) no-repeat 0 -32px;}li.posts {background:url(http://sites.google.com/site/amatullah83/bg/tabstar.png) no-repeat 0 -32px;}li.category {background:url(http://sites.google.com/site/amatullah83/bg/tabFolder.png) no-repeat 0 -32px;}li.famous {background:url(http://sites.google.com/site/amatullah83/bg/tabHeart.png) no-repeat 0 -32px;}li.random {background:url(http://sites.google.com/site/amatullah83/bg/tabRandom.png) no-repeat 0 -32px;}li.mouseover {background-position:0 0;}li.mouseout {background-position:0 -32px;}li.selected {background-position:0 0;}.box {width:227px}.boxTop {background:url(http://sites.google.com/site/amatullah83/bg/boxTop.png)no-repeat;height:11px;clear:both}.boxBody {background-color:#282828;}.boxBottom {background:url(http://sites.google.com/site/amatullah83/bg/boxBottom.png) no-repeat;height:11px;}.boxBody div {display:none;}.boxBody div.show {display:block;}.boxBody #category a {display:block}/* styling for the content*/.boxBody div ul { margin:0 10px 0 25px;padding:0;width:190px;list-style-image:url(http://sites.google.com/site/amatullah83/bg/arrow.gif)}.boxBody div li {border-bottom:1px dotted #8e8e8e; padding:4px 0;cursor:hand;cursor:pointer;font-size:10px; color:#DDDDDD;text-decoration: none;}.boxBody div ul li.last {border-bottom:none}.boxBody div li a{font-size:10px; color:#DDDDDD;text-decoration: none;}.boxBody div li span { font-size:8px;color:#9F9F9F;}/* IE Hacks */*html .boxTop {margin-bottom:-2px;}*html .boxBody div ul {margin-left:10px;padding-left:15px;}

Now save the template.

Then go to Layout >> Page Element >> Add a gadget >> "Html/java script" and paste this code on the java script.

<div class="box">
<ul id="tabMenu"><li class="posts selected"></li> <!-- default button--><li class="comments"></li><li class="category"></li><li class="famous"></li><li class="random"></li></ul>
