<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
/* Script by: www.jtricks.com

*/
var floatingMenuId = 'floatdiv';
var floatingMenu =
{
targetX: -250,
targetY: 10,

hasInner: typeof(window.innerWidth) == 'number',
hasElement: document.documentElement
&& document.documentElement.clientWidth,

menu:
document.getElementById
? document.getElementById(floatingMenuId)
: document.all
? document.all[floatingMenuId]
: document.layers[floatingMenuId]
};

floatingMenu.move = function ()
{
if (document.layers)
{
floatingMenu.menu.left = floatingMenu.nextX;
floatingMenu.menu.top = floatingMenu.nextY;
}
else
{
floatingMenu.menu.style.left = floatingMenu.nextX + 'px';
floatingMenu.menu.style.top = floatingMenu.nextY + 'px';
}
}

floatingMenu.computeShifts = function ()
{
var de = document.documentElement;

floatingMenu.shiftX =
floatingMenu.hasInner
? pageXOffset
: floatingMenu.hasElement
? de.scrollLeft
: document.body.scrollLeft;
if (floatingMenu.targetX < 0)
{
if (floatingMenu.hasElement && floatingMenu.hasInner)
{
// Handle Opera 8 problems
floatingMenu.shiftX +=
de.clientWidth > window.innerWidth
? window.innerWidth
: de.clientWidth
}
else
{
floatingMenu.shiftX +=
floatingMenu.hasElement
? de.clientWidth
: floatingMenu.hasInner
? window.innerWidth
: document.body.clientWidth;
}
}

floatingMenu.shiftY =
floatingMenu.hasInner
? pageYOffset
: floatingMenu.hasElement
? de.scrollTop
: document.body.scrollTop;
if (floatingMenu.targetY < 0)
{
if (floatingMenu.hasElement && floatingMenu.hasInner)
{
// Handle Opera 8 problems
floatingMenu.shiftY +=
de.clientHeight > window.innerHeight
? window.innerHeight
: de.clientHeight
}
else
{
floatingMenu.shiftY +=
floatingMenu.hasElement
? document.documentElement.clientHeight
: floatingMenu.hasInner
? window.innerHeight
: document.body.clientHeight;
}
}
}

floatingMenu.doFloat = function()
{
var stepX, stepY;

floatingMenu.computeShifts();

stepX = (floatingMenu.shiftX +
floatingMenu.targetX - floatingMenu.nextX) * .07;
if (Math.abs(stepX) < .5)
{
stepX = floatingMenu.shiftX +
floatingMenu.targetX - floatingMenu.nextX;
}

stepY = (floatingMenu.shiftY +
floatingMenu.targetY - floatingMenu.nextY) * .07;
if (Math.abs(stepY) < .5)
{
stepY = floatingMenu.shiftY +
floatingMenu.targetY - floatingMenu.nextY;
}

if (Math.abs(stepX) > 0 ||
Math.abs(stepY) > 0)
{
floatingMenu.nextX += stepX;
floatingMenu.nextY += stepY;
floatingMenu.move();
}

setTimeout('floatingMenu.doFloat()', 20);
};

// addEvent designed by Aaron Moore
floatingMenu.addEvent = function(element, listener, handler)
{
if(typeof element[listener] != 'function' ||
typeof element[listener + '_num'] == 'undefined')
{
element[listener + '_num'] = 0;
if (typeof element[listener] == 'function')
{
element[listener + 0] = element[listener];
element[listener + '_num']++;
}
element[listener] = function(e)
{
var r = true;
e = (e) ? e : window.event;
for(var i = element[listener + '_num'] -1; i >= 0; i--)
{
if(element[listener + i](e) == false)
r = false;
}
return r;
}
}

//if handler is not already stored, assign it
for(var i = 0; i < element[listener + '_num']; i++)
if(element[listener + i] == handler)
return;
element[listener + element[listener + '_num']] = handler;
element[listener + '_num']++;
};

floatingMenu.init = function()
{
floatingMenu.initSecondary();
floatingMenu.doFloat();
};

// Some browsers init scrollbars only after
// full document load.
floatingMenu.initSecondary = function()
{
floatingMenu.computeShifts();
floatingMenu.nextX = floatingMenu.shiftX +
floatingMenu.targetX;
floatingMenu.nextY = floatingMenu.shiftY +
floatingMenu.targetY;
floatingMenu.move();
}

if (document.layers)
floatingMenu.addEvent(window, 'onload', floatingMenu.init);
else
{
floatingMenu.init();
floatingMenu.addEvent(window, 'onload',
floatingMenu.initSecondary);
}

Step 2 : login to your blogger account . Go to layout ,edit HTML .
Add the code bellow after <body>

<div id="floatdiv" style="border: 0px solid rgb(34, 102, 170); padding: 16px; position: absolute; width: 200px; height:50px; left: 533px; top: 238px;">

<style type="text/css">
.li{
margin:0px 5px 7px 31px;
padding:2px;
list-style-type:none;
display:block;
width:200px;
}

#sideBar{
position: absolute;
width: auto;
height: 585px;
top: 0px;
right:-20px;
background-image:url(http://baliwww.com/images/backgroundsidebar.gif);
background-position:top left;
background-repeat:repeat-y;
}

#sideBarTab{
float:left;
height:137px;
width:28px;
}

#sideBarTab img{
border:0px solid #FFFFFF;
}

#sideBarContents{
overflow:hidden !important;
}

#sideBarContentsInner{
width:150px;
}
</style>

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://contact.dinhquanghuy.googlepages.com/mootools.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://contact.dinhquanghuy.googlepages.com/side-bar.js"></script>


<div id="sideBar">

<a href="#" id="sideBarTab"><img src="http://i342.photobucket.com/albums/o433/bkprobk/slide-button.gif" alt="sideBar" title="sideBar"/></a>

<div id="sideBarContents" style="width: 0px; height: 0px; visibility: hidden; opacity: 0;">

<div id="sideBarContentsInner">

<span class="ul">
<span class="li">
{CONTENT 1}
</span>

<span class="li">
{CONTENT 2}
</span>
</span>

</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>

in this sidebar code ,content 1 ,content 2 are what showed in your sidebar . Change these to your owns
If you want to add content to sidebar ,content must be covered in <span class="li"> ... </span>
if you have more than one content block ,you can create more than one <span class="li"> ... </span> for content 1 ,content 2 ... like the code above .
