I have successfully implemented the suggestions initially reported by Talmida and then modified for MT by Jeff (The Curt Jester) in a comment to this post Unfortunately, because the text included real code, the parser actually reads it and you can't get the mods. If you e-mail me or Jeff, I can provide you with his original which I used for my modifications. Thank you, Jeff. I greatly appreciate it.
Next stop--'twould seem to me that a like strategy could be used for categories.
Looks good, Steven!
I tried using it for an Index or two, but since Blogger doesn't use categories, it involves going into the template and adding to the Index each time I write a post. I haven't quite decided whether that's too much work for a lazy blogger or not.
Still, I went through my archives and managed 2 drop-down indices: one by topic, one by chapter & verse that I studied.
