A drop-down menu alternative

I had a problem. I wanted a drop-down menu for my list of BlogU Picks. For the past few days I have tried several different types. The problem I found is I simply don't like the usual drop-down menu. It is far to 'clunky' for my liking. So I thought how about a simple CSS drop-down menu? Well, they are prettier, but what an oxymoron!! There is nothing simple about the CSS drop-down.

Problem still not solved. So, now I must think outside of the box. (So to speak.) My desire was to corral a list of links that will only be getting longer. I did not want it to run on forever in the sidebar.

Then it hit me. Make a new blog the mirror image of this one. (Simply copy the orginal template and paste it in the mirror blog's template section.) Remove all the extra 'sidebar' items that I didn't want. Add a couple of "Return Home" links. After that I created a post with all of the BlogU pick links I have so far. In the future to add a link, I go to the mirror template and edit the post. Last but not least, I added a link in the sidebar of this blog linking to it! Check it out!!
