Simply go to your Blogger dashboard and create a new post. Using the tabs at the top, switch over to the "Edit HTML" section of the post editor (if you do not usually use this function), then paste the following section of code into the content section:-
<div id="toc"></div><span style="font-size:80;"></span><script src="
http://Your-Script_url/tableofcontents.js"></script><br /><script src="
http://Your-Blog_url/feeds/posts/default?alt=json-in-script&max-results=999&callback=loadtoc"></script><br /><script type="text/javascript">showToc();</script>
Just replace the above codes in red with the script url and your blog url.And Publish Your Post.
Now to make it look great and look like an table just add this css in your blogger html.Just go to blogger layout >> edit/Html and place the below css before the
]]></b:skin> tag.
#toc {
border: 2px solid #C3D9FF;
background: #ffffff;
padding: 5px;
width:500px;
margin:10px 0 20px 0;
}
