What is Menu Bar?

The menu tab or Menu bar is a navigation system and is located at the top of the blog and website and mostly menu bar looks in horizontal view but sometimes it is left side in vertical view and using the Menu bar visitors easily visit a particular category and even subcategories.

Why we need to add Drop Down Menu Tabs in the blog?

Why do we need a dropdown menu horizontal and vertical bar because we know most of the time we are managing a blog, website, and eCommerce Store, now we are publishing content in our blog then we need to differentiate the categories then we use a drop-down menu tab and add our labels is the submenu.

Likewise when we are working on our website services pages then we subcategories our services page and we add in the submenu and when we are adding a lot of products in our E-Commerce Store then we are making a dropdown menu bar because we want to subcategorize our products like every eCommerce website are creating drop-down menu bar for example- we create some pages - Xbox gaming, PlayStation gaming, PC gaming, Mobile gaming, and cloud gaming then we categorised into the one main menu Gaming, now let's start.

These are the Following Steps:-
Step 1: First go to the Blogger blog dashboard and click the Layout option then go to the header layout and click the Add a Gadget link because we want to add a drop-down menu bar in the header section.
