I have added the following 3 “On Select” events to this app.

1. On select of the blog title, the app will open that blog in the web browser.
2. On select of the “Amreek Singh”, the app will open my linkedin profile in the web browser.
3. On select of the logo image, the app will open my blog “mscrmshop.blogspot.com” in the web browser.
