Next, find this section in your code:
/* Tabs
----------------------------------------------- */
Delete everything in this section. If the section that follows it is called Columns, you can delete that section too. Stop deleting when you get to the section called Headings.
In your newly empty Tabs section, paste this code:
#crosscol ul {z-index: 200; padding:0 !important;}
#crosscol li:hover {position:relative;}
#crosscol ul li {padding:0 !important;}
.tabs-outer {z-index:1;}
.tabs .widget ul, .tabs .widget ul {overflow: visible;}
Now you can insert the code for your menu. Enter ]]></b:skin> in your search box. Just above that, paste this code:
/* Horizontal drop down menu

Save your template.
This concludes your changes to the Template part of your blog.
Step 2: Adding the Widget
From your sidebar, go to Layout. From there, choose Add a Gadget.
This will take you to a popup menu with a number of gadget options on it. Choose HTML/Javascript (it will be about halfway down the list). This will take you to another popup that will have two empty fields. Unless you want to add a viewable title to your menu, leave the first blank. In the second, larger field, paste this code:
<div id='menuWrapper'>
<ul class='menu'>
<li class='top'><a class='top_link' href='Link URL'><span>Title 1</span></a></li>
