Yesterday, I found this excellent CSS menu, which bases on "Lava Lamp Menu" concept. Also, this menu is available for download or demo at this link. In September, we shared a jquey based Lava Lamp menu, which was based on jQuery.
This menu is available in three different styles, you can check a demo at this link. This menu is created by Paulina Hetman from Pepsized. This menu is coded so beautiful, and basic mark-up of all three menus are same.
First two menus are pure CSS based and third menu uses a heart and arrow image, which is adorable (Just kidding :p).
Add This Menu To Blogger:
- Go To Blogger > Template > Edit HTML > Click on "Proceed."
- Search for ]]></b:skin> and post following css just above it:
