4. Now Find the following code ( Press CTRL+F for a search bar ).

</head> 

Before / above this code add following code

<script src='http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.2.6/jquery.js' type='text/javascript'/>

  <script type='text/javascript'>

  //<![CDATA[

var timeout    = 500;

  var closetimer = 0;

  var ddmenuitem = 0;

function jsddm_open()

  {  jsddm_canceltimer();

  jsddm_close();

  ddmenuitem = $(this).find('ul').css('visibility', 'visible');}

function jsddm_close()

  {  if(ddmenuitem) ddmenuitem.css('visibility', 'hidden');}

function jsddm_timer()

  {  closetimer = window.setTimeout(jsddm_close, timeout);}

function jsddm_canceltimer()

  {  if(closetimer)

  {  window.clearTimeout(closetimer);

  closetimer = null;}}

$(document).ready(function()

  {  $('#jsddm > li').bind('mouseover', jsddm_open)

  $('#jsddm > li').bind('mouseout',  jsddm_timer)});

document.onclick = jsddm_close;

  //]]>

  </script>

5. Now Click on "Save Template".

6. Next, go to your blogger Dashboard click on layout tab, click on "Add a Gadget".

Leave the title empty and at the content area, Paste the following code.

<ul id="jsddm">

  <li><a href="#">Home</a>

  <li><a href="#">Menu 1</a>

  <ul>

  <li><a href="#">Drop 1-1</a></li>

  <li><a href="#">Drop 1-2</a></li>

  <li><a href="#">Drop 1-3</a></li>

  </ul>

  </li>

 <li><a href="#">Menu 2</a>

  <ul>

  <li><a href="#">Drop 2-1</a></li>

  <li><a href="#">Drop 2-2</a></li>

  </ul>

  </li>

 <li><a href="#">Menu 3</a>

  <ul>

  <li><a href="#">Drop 3-1</a></li>

  <li><a href="#">Drop 3-2</a></li>

  <li><a href="#">Drop 3-3</a></li>

  <li><a href="#">Drop 3-4</a></li>

  </ul>

  </li>

 <li><a href="#">Menu 4</a></li>

  <li><a href="#">Menu 5</a></li>

  <li><a href="http://getseonow.blogspot.com">PBTools</a></li>

  </li></ul>

7. Finally "Save" and your done.

Now , it's a important to move the new gadget from the current place to the top of your page, if it was on the sidebar, or any other place , just drag it to header and click on "Save" again.

In last code you must change the menu titles and replace all # letters by right menu url.
