   DropDown Menu is the "cooler" option.
   
   It creates, as you might guess, a dropdown menu with your selected buttons in it.
   
   Blog Specific is the option you should use if you have a Wordpress, Blogger, MovableType or Textpattern blog. , The next step will appear very soon, if not immediately. ,, Note that this is not the RSS feed URL. , This is the URL of the .rss or .xml file. , If you selected Default, you can add separators to the outputted code.
