    When i was surfing the net , i found some fascinating option that can use in blogger. It's really amazing. It a animating dock. You can see a edited version of it in my blog too.it's similar to the dock in Mac OS and also to the Dock of Brico Pack Vista Inspirat update.How ever first all , i must say that any of these amazing codes are not written by me.Now lets see how to add this.





    1. Edit your Template
    2. Now find out </head> ( press 'Ctrl' + F to open your browser's search box)


    now paste these codes , just after </head>


    <script src='http://www.hotlinkfiles.com/files/2539743_ukzyr/mootools-for-dock.js]mootools-for-dock.js' type='text/javascript'>
    </script>
    <script src='http://www.hotlinkfiles.com/files/2539745_0murk/UvumiDock-compressed.js]UvumiDock-compressed.js' type='text/javascript'>
    </script>
    <link href='http://www.hotlinkfiles.com/files/2539744_t3g89/uvumi-dock.css]uvumi-dock.css' media='screen' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'/>
    <!--[if lt IE 7]>
    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen" href="http://www.hotlinkfiles.com/files/2539746_jlbwr/uvumi-dock-ie6.css]uvumi-dock-ie6.css" />
    <![endif]-->
    <script type='text/javascript'>
    var myDock = new UvumiDock("dock");
    </script>




    And



    Now you have to download some icons.( or use your own ).There are some 3D , vista type icon set for free download at www.vistaicons.com . My Dock icons are too from vistaicons.com






    After downloading , upload needed images to a image hosting server or to google pages. Now get thier Image URLs paste in the following code.


    <ul id="dock">

    <li>
    <a href="Paste the URL of a web page"><img alt="Type a word discribing the page that link will direct ( tip tool )" src="Image's URL"/>
    </a>
    </li>

    <li>
    <a href="Paste the URL of a web page 2"><img alt="Type a word discribing the page that link will direct ( tip tool ) 2" src="Image's URL 2"/>
    </a>
    </li>

    <li>
    <a href="Paste the URL of a web page 3"><img alt="Type a word discribing the page that link will direct ( tip tool ) 3" src="Image's URL 3"/>
    </a>
    </li>

    </ul>

    *like this you can add any number of dock images and links.

    ex:-

    <li>
    <a href="http://blogger-template-editing.blogspot.com/2009/05/about.html"><img alt="About" src="http://sites.google.com/site/dragonzstore/_/rsrc/1242275222949/buttons/about.png"/>
    </a>
    </li>


    Now select "Add a Gadget" from Layout window and select "HTML\JAVA sript"
    Now paste follwing codes in it. ( don't give a caption to your gadget )

    and paste these code in it.

    Now Press Save
