How to make Web link in a LinkBar

Linkbar with simple text links:

1) From your Blogger dashboard, click "Layout". You should now be at the "Page Elements" page. What we want to do is create a link under your navbar that says "add a Gadget". The first thing you will need to do is to manually change the HTML in your blog to increase the places where you can add page elements. If you have page elements at the top, skip to step 6.

2) Click on your Layout tab and then click 'Edit HTML', Once there hit 'Ctrl + F' to search your HTML template and type in showaddelement to locate the proper place in your HTML code to make changes. Now look for a place in the code that says: 

Change the max widgets to 3 and the showaddelement to yes - You will now have two extra places where you can add page elements.

3) Scroll down a little further and find the place in the code reading:

Change the showaddelement to yes. You should now see options in your template to add page elements before and after your Blog Title.

4) One final place to change the code: Scroll down to where you see the code reading:

Change showaddelement to yes

5) You should now have an 'Add a Gadget' option between the Blog Title (header) and the blog post section. This is the place where you would select 'Add a Gadget' to add a horizontal navigation or menu bar. Once these changes have been made, click 'preview' to make sure that the changes are appearing correctly. Once you have verified that the changes appear correct, click 'save template'. You are now ready to add your links.

6) Write a new post for each page you want to link on your menu bar. The most common are Home, About, Favorites, Contact, but you could do anything. The links you use will be the URL for each specific post.

• For Home, it will be your blog URL.
• For Contact, it will be mailto:youraddress@email.com
• For an individual post, right click the post title, and "copy link location"
• For a label category, right click the label name, and "copy link location"

7) On your Template/Layout, once at your Page Elements, click the rectangle under your 'Header', which says 'Add a Gadget'. Now in your gadgets select 'HTML/JAVASCRIPT'. Now add this code- click on the text to download.

you can add as many lines as you like, you can add spaces between them to space the text out a bit.

8) Then move (click and drag) the new page element just under your header. 'Preview' to see if you want to change anything, if everything looks good then click 'save'. Now you should have a linkbar- if you are having problems go back and review the steps.
