A Simple Dock Menu (FishEye Menu) For BlogSpot Blogs
Similar to the previous dock menu, explained a few weeks back, here is another great widget for your blogspot blogs (will work in blogs based on any other platform too).
A fisheye-menu/dock menu is a menu with pictorial menu items which zoom on mouse-hover, and are linked to different web pages.
Check out the widget in action: Fish Eye Menu
As positioning the previous widget was somewhat confusing for most of the bloggers, so I found this one at MarcGrabanski, which can easily be placed at any location in the blog with simple HTML widgets.

Follow these instructions, to add this widget:
STEP1:
Download these two files as a zipped file:
fisheye.js
fisheye-menu.css
Download the zipped file.
STEP2:
Upload the files to MyDataNest (you have to register before uploading the files)
Now copy the DIRECT LINKS to the two files.
STEP3:
Log in to Blogger, go to Layout -> Edit HTML
and find (CTRL+F) this in the template code:
Now save the template.
Then go to Layout -> Page Elements, and click on "Add a Gadget" and select it as "HTML/JavaScript" type.
Then paste this code in to the widget:
Instead of the links in BLUE, use your own image links.
And finally save the widget and drag it to the position you want.
