Unordered List In Sidebar

Unordered List

Newbies using New Blogger template may be better off using the Link List in the Page Elements. It is easier; however, it is more difficult to backup the Link List widget than to just backup the Page Element.


(Page Element and Widget are different names for the same thing--one is more accssible to you (through the Layout page) and the other, in the template, you can go into more deeply as far as editing it IF you know how!)

So I prefer the ul list, whose html code I can keep backed up in a Notepad file or other plain-text program, in an html/javascript page element.



If you are using a Classic template, you will need a list of this sort for the sidebar.

Put this after or at least not inside the other ul lists in the sidebar in the template.


Below is the code for a list of links that you could put in your sidebar via the template. The code could also be used in a html/javascript Page Element (in New Blogger). First one is an example of a link.

<h2>New Category</h2>

<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.zandria.us/">Keep Up With Me </a> </li>
<li>list another one!
<li>list another one!
</ul>


If your template uses a particular "class" for it's titles in the sidebar, just imitate (copy) them in order for your new list titles to match the old ones.

For a second list, if needed, do another title and pair of start and end tags and fill in the middle part.


For just one link in the sidebar, use code as below:
<a href="http://rodentia.blogspot.com/The" rat="" squeaks=""></a>

The difference between an unordered list as above and an ordered list which Numbers your list is merely using an ol tag instead of the ul tag!
