Hi ranji, I think you clicked on the hyperlink "this tool" in jenndz website which tells "if you think the blogroll is too messy, you can use 'this tool' to create a pull down menu. It displays the blogroll as one line of text." I think thats what you did. Did Jendz send you the code? she might send it in two weeks. If you did not receive in two weeks from the time you applied, write back to her.
