The "blog inventory" in the sidebar is a LinkList gadget, modified to a drop down list. Here's the code:

<form name="inv">
<select onchange="location=document.inv.menu.options[document.inv.menu.selectedIndex].value;" value="GO" name='menu' expr:id='data:widget.instanceId'>
<option value=''><data:title/></option>
<b:loop values='data:links' var='link'>
<option expr:value='data:link.target'><data:link.name/></option>
</b:loop>
</select>
</form>

The original widget content was:

<ul>
<b:loop values='data:links' var='link'>
<li><a expr:href='data:link.target' target='blank'><data:link.name/></a></li>
</b:loop>
</ul>

This is just a post for the top so I can see some colorful author names.

Here's a test of constraining a picture uploaded to Blogger. The original picture is 1370px high and 770px wide. Clicking here will take you to a copy using the regular <a href=> tag. It may open full size or maybe not depending on your screen. Now I will use some javascript to constrain the picture to 300 high and we'll see if the full version opens or of it ais a scroller. Click here for the javascript version. That was the demo.

This is the last time I am going to upload this picture—really.
