This slider is a created by Chris Coyier the author of csstricks.com. You can download the source code from csstricks.com but the codes are a bit confusing so I made it ready to use in blogger. All you need to do is add a widget to your blog.

  1. Goto layout and 'add a gadget'
  2. Then select 'HTML/JavaScript gadget'
  3. Paste the following code in the editor -

<div id="slider">
  <ul class="navigation">
    <li><a href="#sites">Sites</a></li>
    <li><a href="#files">Files</a></li>
    <li><a href="#editor">Editor</a></li>
    <li><a href="#preview">Preview</a></li>
    <li><a href="#css">CSS</a></li>
    <li><a href="#terminal">Terminal</a></li>
    <li><a href="#books">Books</a></li>
  </ul>

  <!-- element with overflow applied -->
  <div class="scroll">
    <!-- the element that will be scrolled during the effect -->
    <div class="scrollContainer">
      <!-- our individual panels -->
      <div class="panel" id="sites"> ... </div>
      <div class="panel" id="files"> ... </div>
      <div class="panel" id="editor"> ... </div>
      <div class="panel" id="preview"> ... </div>
      <div class="panel" id="css"> ... </div>
      <div class="panel" id="terminal"> ... </div>
      <div class="panel" id="books"> ... </div>
    </div>
  </div>
</div>
<style>
#slider {
  width: 620px;
  margin: 0 auto;
  position: relative;
}

.scroll {
  height: 250px;
  overflow: auto;
  position: relative; /* fix for IE to respect overflow */
  clear: left;
  background: #FFFFFF url(images/content_pane-gradient.gif) repeat-x scroll left bottom;
}

.scrollContainer div.panel {
  padding: 20px;
  height: 210px;
  width: 580px; /* change to 560px if not using JS to remove rh.scroll */
}
.scrollButtons {
  position: absolute;
  top: 150px;
  cursor: pointer;
}

.scrollButtons.left {
  left: -20px;
}

.scrollButtons.right {

// bind the navigation clicks to update the selected nav:
$('#slider .navigation').find('a').click(selectNav);

// handle nav selection - lots of nice chaining :-)
function selectNav() {
  $(this)
    .parents('ul:first') // find the first UL parent
      .find('a') // find all the A elements
        .removeClass('selected') // remove from all

    .end() // go back to 'this' element

  // whose href ends with ID ($= is ends with)

  // we're passing the actual element, and not the jQuery instance.

// when the DOM is ready...
$(document).ready(function () {

var $panels = $('#slider .scrollContainer > div');
var $container = $('#slider .scrollContainer');

// if false, we'll float all the panels left and fix the width
// of the container
var horizontal = true;

// float the panels left if we're going horizontal

    'float' : 'left',
    'position' : 'relative' // IE fix to ensure overflow is hidden
  });

  // calculate a new width for the container (so it holds all panels)
  $container.css('width', $panels[0].offsetWidth * $panels.length);
}

// collect the scroll object, at the same time apply the hidden overflow
// to remove the default scrollbars that will appear
var $scroll = $('#slider .scroll').css('overflow', 'hidden');

// apply our left + right buttons
$scroll
  .before('<img class="scrollButtons left" src="images/scroll_left.png" />')
  .after('<img class="scrollButtons right" src="images/scroll_right.png" />');

// handle nav selection

}

// offset is used to move to *exactly* the right place, since I'm using
// padding on my example, I need to subtract the amount of padding to
// the offset.  Try removing this to get a good idea of the effect
var offset = parseInt((horizontal ?
  $container.css('paddingTop') :
  $container.css('paddingLeft'))
  || 0) * -1;


var scrollOptions = {
  target: $scroll, // the element that has the overflow

  // can be a selector which will be relative to the target
  items: $panels,

  navigation: '.navigation a',

  // selectors are NOT relative to document, i.e. make sure they're unique
  prev: 'img.left',
  next: 'img.right',

  // allow the scroll effect to run both directions
  axis: 'xy',

  onAfter: trigger, // our final callback

  offset: offset,

  // duration of the sliding effect
  duration: 500,

  // easing - can be used with the easing plugin:
  // http://gsgd.co.uk/sandbox/jquery/easing/
  easing: 'swing'
};

// apply serialScroll to the slider - we chose this plugin because it
// supports// the indexed next and previous scroll along with hooking
// in to our navigation.
$('#slider').serialScroll(scrollOptions);

// now apply localScroll to hook any other arbitrary links to trigger
// the effect
$.localScroll(scrollOptions);

// finally, if the URL has a hash, move the slider in to position,
// setting the duration to 1 because I don't want it to scroll in the
// very first page load.  We don't always need this, but it ensures
// the positioning is absolutely spot on when the pages loads.
scrollOptions.duration = 1;
