Listed here is another straightforward yet incredible dropdown selection with pure CSS3 produced by Andrew from script-tutorials.com (http://script-tutorials.com/) to that we have actually made some minor modifications so it could easily adapt in all of our Blogger layout.
In top of the correct spot of the eating plan we do have the get in touch with backlinks and the social networking icons for Facebook, Twitter, Google Additionally and RSS feed. Below these links, we now have the drop-down navigation menu and on the remaining side, the look kind.
To get better individual software and interaction, the CSS dropdown menu features sub categories that seem with an excellent touch of CSS3 box-shadow, text-shadow and a cool transition once the parent website link is actually triggered by a hover.
Adding the CSS dropdown navigation menu in Blogger
Step 1. Access your Blogger Dashboard (http://blogger.com/) and go to Template > click on the Edit HTML button
</header>
Step 3. Just below add the HTML structure:
<div id='contact-links'>]]></b:skin>
<div id='my-links'>
<a href='#'>About</a>
<a href='#'>Contact</a>

Replace the # signs with the URLs of your own backlinks and replace the texts in bluish aided by the titles you want to look. To evolve the social networking icons, add the website links of the icons rather than the types in bluish. If you do not learn how to publish to get the URL of a picture, please read this tutorial (http://helplogger.blogspot.com/2013/09/upload-images-and-get-url-of-image.html) .
When you need to take away the sub classes, get rid of the code around the labels emphasized in yellow, like the ul tags. To take out only a menu element, eliminate the component that starts with <li> and ends with </li>
Step 4. And now let's add the CSS styling for the menu. Search for the following piece of code:
]]></b:skin>
Just above ]]></b:skin> add this code:
<div id='contact-links'>
<div id='my-links'>
<a href='#'>About</a>
<a href='#'>Contact</a>
