#linkbar a:hover {

4.Now again Scroll down to where you see like this code:

<div id='header-wrapper'>
<b:section class='header' id='header' maxwidgets='1' showaddelement='no'>
<b:widget id='Header1' locked='true' title='Test blog (Header)' type='Header'/>
</b:section>
</div>

5.Now Copy below code and paste it after above code.

<div id='linkbar-wrapper'>
<b:section class='linkbar' id='linkbar' showaddelement='no'>
<b:widget id='LinkList1' locked='true' title='Linkbar' type='LinkList'>
<b:includable id='main'>

<b:if cond='data:title'><h2><data:title/></h2></b:if>
<div class='widget-content'>
<ul>
<b:loop values='data:links' var='link'>
<li><a expr:href='data:link.target'><data:link.name/></a></li>
</b:loop>
</ul>

</div>
</b:includable>
</b:widget>
</b:section>
</div>

Note:To open Linkbar in a new window or tab use below code instead of above code.

<div id='linkbar-wrapper'>
<b:section class='linkbar' id='linkbar' showaddelement='yes'>
<b:widget id='LinkList11' locked='true' title='Linkbar' type='LinkList'>
<b:includable id='main'>

<b:if cond='data:title'><h2><data:title/></h2></b:if>
<div class='widget-content'>
<ul>
<b:loop values='data:links' var='link'>
<li><a expr:href='data:link.target' target='_blank'><data:link.name/></a></li>
</b:loop>
</ul>

</div>
</b:includable>
</b:widget>
</b:section>
</div>

6.Now save your template and you are done.
