SimplexBlognews and Simplex Newspaper II are similar templates ,they has the same layout ,so we can make multi-level menu for Simplex Newspaper II as the way we did with Simplex Blognews .
1,Open template in any word editor you have ,or in Blogger (go to Design tab ---> edit HTML ----> checked Expand Widget Templates )
2,find this code
<ul> <b:section id='topcat' showaddelement='no'> <b:widget id='LinkList1' locked='false' title='Top Category' type='LinkList'> <b:includable id='main'> <b:loop values='data:links' var='link'> <li><a expr:href='data:link.target'><data:link.name/></a></li> </b:loop> </b:includable> </b:widget> </b:section> </ul> and change it to
<ul> <li> <a href="link to category">Home</a> </li> <li> <a href="link to category">World News</a> <ul class="children"> <li><a href="link to subcategory">Category</a></li> <li><a href="link to subcategory">Category</a></li> <li><a href="link to subcategory">Category</a></li> </ul> </li> <li><a href="link to category">Travel</a></li> <li><a href="link to category">Sports</a></li> <li><a href="link to category">Finance</a> <ul class="children"> <li><a href="link to subcategory">Category</a></li> <li><a href="link to subcategory">Category</a></li> <li><a href="link to subcategory">Category</a></li> </ul> </li> <li><a href="link to category">Entertainment</a></li> <li><a href="link to category">Business</a></li> </ul>Remember to change the text in bold to your category and sub category . Link to category and sub category has structure : http://yourblog.blogspot.com/search/label/your-category
If you want to make multi-level menu in page navigation (About us ,contact us ....) ,you can also replace the code
<div id="navpages"> <ul> <b:section id='page' showaddelement='yes'> <b:widget id='PageList1' locked='false' title='Pages' type='PageList'> <b:includable id='main'> <b:loop values='data:links' var='link'> <li><a expr:href='data:link.href'><data:link.title/></a></li> </b:loop> </b:includable> </b:widget> </b:section> </ul> <div class="clear"></div> </div>with the code has structure like this
<ul> <li> <a href="link to category">Home</a> </li> <li> <a href="link to category">World News</a> <ul class="children"> <li><a href="link to subcategory">Category</a></li> <li><a href="link to subcategory">Category</a></li> <li><a href="link to subcategory">Category</a></li> </ul> </li> <li><a href="link to category">Travel</a></li> <li><a href="link to category">Sports</a></li> <li><a href="link to category">Finance</a> <ul class="children"> <li><a href="link to subcategory">Category</a></li> <li><a href="link to subcategory">Category</a></li> <li><a href="link to subcategory">Category</a></li> </ul> </li> <li><a href="link to category">Entertainment</a></li> <li><a href="link to category">Business</a></li> </ul>3,The most important step :
find this code :
#navcats { width:970px; background: url(http://img651.imageshack.us/img651/9570/bggradientlines.gif) repeat; border-bottom:1px solid #efefef; position:relative; z-index:1;} and change z-index :1 to z-index:999
z-index:999 will make this menu float on others elements . If you don't change this value ,you will see multi-level menu is hidden by other elements .
That's all .Save template and you are done .
