hi,

How did you create that MENU bar with tabs within blogger?

I have not been able to do this easily with the tools provided...

Much appreciated for any help with this :-)
good job!

Hi Leo
The MENU bar is created using CSS. You need to edit your HTML section in blogger and add in the necessary code. Have a look at this template which can be found at http://www.carlgalloway.com/pages/blogger-templates.html

Look especially for the /****** Navigation ******/ section near the top of the code and also the --div id='navigation'--
--div id='navbar_link'--
code which is found in the main body section of the code.

Hope this is of some help. I am not aware of any other way to add it in.

Hi Leo
I have set up an example of a simple menu bar added to an existing blogger template at http://pdtesting.blogspot.com

The coding that you need to add to your template is shown IN RED at http://docs.google.com/View?docid=dcncmwj2_18gs7d3rfd

You add the code in two places. You will need to change the colours in the top part to suit your colour scheme.

Hope this does the trick! If not let me know what template you are using and I will have a look at its coding.

A brand new FREE digital education resource, recommended for
teachers of grades 6 – 12 in the US, has recently been
launched in association with Scholastic!

The resource provides 19 lesson plans and 26 classroom
activities for exploring issues of peace, nonviolence, and
the protection of the environment. The free resource, created by UK non-profit organization Peace One Day, aims to further learning in the areas of conflict resolution, global citizenship, human rights and the link between sustainability and peace, using the UN International Day of Peace 21 September as a focus. The resources are linked to the documentary film The Day After Peace, which charts Jeremy Gilley’s (founder of Peace One Day and director of the film) journey to establish the first annual day of global ceasefire.

Each lesson plan refers to National standards and fit well
within the frameworks of History/Social Studies, Civics and
Government Studies, English/Language Arts, Environmental
Science and more. To find out more about the educational
resource and to show your students what young people can do tomake peace, please go to:
http://www.scholastic.com/peaceoneday/ to view the webcast
that was held in New York. You can see some of USA
testimonials for the resource on the website
http://education.peaceoneday.org as well as register to

Hi,


Take a look at our revolutionary text prediction software (for PC or Android mobile phones): http://www.aitype.com. The products are in beta stage and may be downloaded from our website (PC) or the Market (Android) free of charge (once officially released, it will probably remain free). Save most of the typing efforts, typos and dictionary lookups by using A.I.type in Word, Outlook, browsers, Skype etc.

Thanks,
