Here is a pure css based menu with 3d flip concept. Menu items will flip on mouse hover. Menu is inspired from bunch of flipping menus, and is created by David Walsh. Seriously, David is one of my favorite web developers.You can download or check a demo of this menu at this link. The HTML structure consists of a list with links. The animation centers around transitions and transforms. The actual A element wont move -- the parent SPAN element will.
Adding This Menu To Blogger:
Finally, it's time for me to begin the tutorial, which is not much tricky. We're going to add this menu to blogger in two steps. Time for the first one:
- Go To Blogger > Template > Edit HTML > Click on "Proceed"
- Search for ]]></b:skin>
- Post following css just above ]]></b:skin>:
