How To Create Dropdown Box In Blogger?

Well, Here is the answer.

Copy this bold script below...

<br/><select onchange="javascript:window.open(this.options[this.selectedIndex].value);"><option value=""/>Select<option value="http://link1"/>link1 name<option value="http://link2"/>link2 name</select>

Don't forget to replace the bold script with yours and change the link and link name with your link and link name.

Then, login to your blogger account, go to Dashboard > Layout > Page Element > Add a Page Element and then choose HTML/Javascript page element. Paste the above script there, give a proper title, and then Save Changes

Simple isn't it?

So, what if I want to add more links?

Ok, If you want to add more links, just copy this script below, and add it just before </select> tag above.

<option value="http://link x"/>link x name<option value="http://link y"/>link y name

It should look like the one I have in the top right corner..

The above script will open each link in a new window. To open the links in the same window, use the script below instead

<br/><select onchange="javascript:window.location.href=(this.options[this.selectedIndex].value);">);"><option value=""/>Select<option value="http://link1"/>link1 name<option value="http://link2"/>link2 name</select>

Enjoy!!

A Day In The Life Of Heavy Water

Saturday morning, not a soul is awake, to hell with the big words spoken the previous night about meeting up at 9 (Yes, 9 in the morning !), the night seems to have just started for Heavy Water. With the drinking session going on till 4 the previous night, in the pretext of "discussion" about the music, it isn't much of a surprise that the sunlight managed to break through even before the dawn for the guys of Heavy Water.

10:30 in the morning, Bolin's landline rings. Well, his cellphone is as good as dead at this time on a Saturday morning. Naocha answers the phone and guess who was at the other end of the line! Yes, it was Megho, "Naocha, is Bolin still sleeping?" comes the prognosticating question. Bolin, by this time was expecting the call, plays an ancient trick of his, instructs Naocha to answer "Yes, he is in the bathroom !". Yeah..nicely done "Bols", that was a good one!

Early out of bed has never been a cup of tea for Abu anyday. And on a saturday morning after a good dose of "knockout drops", you must be kiddin ! But not today, as the cellphone rings under the pillow. "Hey what time are you reaching, its already 10:45?". "Ummm..I'm almost ready, will be there in another 15 minutes". Well, everybody knows that it meant 45 minutes and so did Megho.

11:45, Bolin, in his usual shorts and the blue Nike tee reaches Megho's place with his Iron Cobra, on his Ford Fusion, which looked like it had just won a cross country rally across the Mojave. Ok! One down one to go ! Not very long after that, Abu finally arrives at Megho's place in a state of sleep, barely managing to hold the guitar, the GT8 processor and the backpack. Great! So we have Abu, Bolin and of course Megho who has already plugged in his PRS but where is the vocalist and the bassist?

Head into the kitchen and you find Mocha and Amarzyt busy making their breakfast, trying to rush through as they hear the amplifiers being switched on.
12:15 and as usual, much beyond past the agreed time, everyone's finally set to start the jam session. Well "everyone", except Bolin, who seems to be taking forever to fix up his drum kit. Its a tough job to be a drummer, eh! Another 20 minutes of the saturday afternoon and we are all good to go at 12:35.

Things kicked off with a warm up round of Rock Bottom and then straight into the setlist for the next show. Much to the antipathy of the next door neighbours we continued to crank up the volume on the amplifiers. All seems to be going smooth, except for a few smoke in between songs. And during one such break, Bolin, on his way back from the loo, came out with something and guess what? Some left over booze from last night! And as though, this was the reason why the feel of the songs was missing and the right note was not hit, the bottle immediately became the center of attraction and received a great deal of attention from all, although the attention didn't last too long with five thirsty musicians around. Back to the music and we continued to excruciate the neighbours with the high voltage music.

2:30 and its lunch time! And it didn't take too long to finish that too.
After a smoke or two, we settled down to complete the remaining practice session without too many distractions.

6:00 and its pack up time! And somebody asked "What next?"

"...lets go get some booze....!!"

Metallica's Much Awaited Ninth Studio Album

On February 9, 2006, Lars Ulrich revealed that the band had begun writing material for their ninth album in an interview at the Sundance Festival: "We're having fun, writing, jamming and hanging. It's all good — no psychiatrists." The band confirmed they had chosen veteran music producer Rick Rubin to produce their ninth studio album. Lars on the upcoming album:“We're actually not recording right now. I know everybody, nowadays, it's like, if you're in the studio, everybody presumes you're recording or making a record, which, of course, we technically are. But the difference between this time and last time is that last time there was no real separation between the writing process and the recording process; it was one thing, and that was the whole kind of 'St. Anger' experiment — to do away with the separate processes of that, and nobody brought in any pre-recorded stuff or ideas; it was just make it up on the spot, be in the moment, put the fucking thing out and next time remember to put the snare on, all that stuff — we've covered that. So this time we are doing exactly what we did on all the other albums — first we're writing, then we're recording. The only difference is — and this is kind of where it gets a little gray area, next-level shit — is that we're writing where we record. So we're writing here at HQ because this is our home, our pad, our hood, our thing. On all the earlier albums... we wrote the 'black' album at my house and recorded it in L.A., we wrote the 'Justice' album at my house and recorded it in L.A., we wrote the 'Puppets' album at James' house and recorded it in Denmark, blah blah blah. But now we're writing in the studio. We show up here five days a week, we get together, we listen to some riff tape from Madrid or Glasgow or Peoria, Illinois, and we sit down and go, 'That riff' and 'That riff,' and then we spend the next six hours trying to remember how to write songs, and then we go pick our kids up and then we come back the next morning and do it all over again.[15]„ —Lars UlrichIn a recent interview on Bruce Dickinson’s BBC6 radio show, Lars Ulrich stated that Metallica has a goal of a September, 2008 release for the new album, and stated that the recording process was finalizing, with six weeks left.
