WordPress Style Admin Bar For Blogger

First of all, this is the most foolish Blogger widget on this entire blog. This widget is very useful but still a dumb idea from me.Still it's an awesome navigation bar for Blogger admins.

This widget is inspired from the WordPress Admin Bar menu and Blogger Admin Control Panel widget. This widget will be only visible to blog admins. It'll provide you some quick actions in the front end of your Blogger blog. Let's get started:

Locate Your Unique Blog ID Number:

To add this widget, it's important to find your unique blog ID number. It's really easy. Just open your Blog's dashboard (overview, posts, and backend other pages) and copy your unique blog ID from address bar.

For example, your ID will look something like this:

http://www,.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=1415638240907948#posts

Red part of the above URL is my blog ID. Visit your blog and copy your unique blog ID.

Add Admin Bar To Blogger Template:

To add the control panel to your Blogger template, go to Template > Edit HTML. Search and add following code just above </body>:

<style>

3D Flipping Menu For Blogger

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>:

        /* 3d flipping menu by BWidgets.com */
        .block-menu {
            display: block;
            background: #000;
        }

        .block-menu li {
            display: inline-block;
        }

        .block-menu li a {
            color: #fff;
            display: block;
            text-decoration: none;

AJAX Navigation Menu For Blogger

Earlier this month, I posted an article on AJAX page loading effect for Blogger, which was so far the best AJAX trick for a Blogger blog.

AJAX is not a new programming language, but a new way to use existing standards. AJAX is the art of exchanging data with a server, and updating parts of a web page - without reloading the whole page. AJAX was made popular in 2005 by Google, with Google Suggest.

So, today I'am sharing a very nice Mashable style AJAX drop down menu for Blogger, which is created by W2B. The menu is works just like normal drop-down menu when javascript is disabled, And it will turns to AJAX powered drop-down menu when javascript is enabled.

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:

/* Menu Stylings */
.w2bmenu *{margin: 0;padding: 0;}
ul.w2bmenu {list-style: none;line-height: 1;overflow: visible !important;}
ul.w2bmenu:after{margin: 0;padding: 0;content: ' ';display: block;height: 0px;clear: both;}

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://widcraft.googlecode.com/svn/AJAXBloggerMenu.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
    $('#w2bajaxmenu').ajaxBloggerMenu({

        <a href="#">Example 1</a>
        <ul>
            <li><a href="http://yourblogdomain.blogspot.com/search/label/AdSense">Sample Label</a></li>

            <li><a href="http://yourblogdomain.blogspot.com/search?q=This+is+long+query+you+do+not+get+any+results,+so+try+others">Unknown Search</a></li>
        </ul>
    </li>
    <li>
        <a href="#">Example 2</a>
        <ul>

CSS Lava Lamp Menu For Blogger

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:

/* --- for all three examples ----*/

.nav {
  text-align: center;
  overflow: hidden;
  margin: 2em auto;
  width: 480px;
  position: relative; }
  .nav a {
    display: block;
    position: relative;
        float: left;
        padding: 1em 0 2em;

Amazing jQuery Slide Out Navigation For Blogger

I personally love this slide out jquery menu and i think after adding this you'll love it too. It's a good way to display your site's menu if you're using a template which doesn't suit any other menus. It's simple , cool and smooth and i think you should give it a try :

Installation :

• Go To Blogger > Template > Edit HTML > Search for </head> :

• Just above  </head>  paste following script :

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://widcraft.googlecode.com/svn/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function() {
var d=300;
$('#navigation a').each(function(){
$(this).stop().animate({
'marginTop':'-80px'
},d+=150);
});
$('#navigation > li').hover(
function () {
$('a',$(this)).stop().animate({
'marginTop':'-2px'
},200);
},
function () {
$('a',$(this)).stop().animate({
'marginTop':'-80px'
},200);
}
);
});
</script>

• Now search for ]]></b:skin> and just above it paste following CSS : 

ul#navigation {
    position: fixed;
    margin: 0px;
    padding: 0px;
    top: 0px;
    right: 10px;
    list-style: none;
    z-index:999999;
    width:721px;
}
ul#navigation li {
    width: 103px;
    display:inline;
    float:left;  
}
ul#navigation li a {
    display: block;
    float:left;

Creating A jQuery Elastic Menu For Blogger

Second article of day in which i'am going to teach you how to create a jquery elastic menu for blogger and all html docs. Feeling damn sleepy because of not sleeping all night from over 8-9 months and doing blogging and crappy things over the internet all night so i'am going to finish this so quick.

• Go To Blogger > Template > Edit HTML > Search for ]]></b:skin> :

• Just above ]]></b:skin> paste following CSS :

/* The container which the menu is "locked" to the bottom of */
#menuwrapper{ position:relative; height:210px; }
/* Fixes the whole menu to the bottom of the parent div */
#menu{position:absolute; bottom:0;}
/* Each individual menu item fixed to the bottom with display:inline-block to create elasticity */
.menuitem{ position:fixed relative; bottom:0px; display:inline-block; }

• Now search for </head> and just above it paste following script :

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://widcraft.googlecode.com/svn/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
 $('.menuitem img').animate({width: 100}, 0); //Set all menu items to smaller size
 $('.menuitem').mouseover(function(){ //When mouse over menu item
  gridimage = $(this).find('img'); //Define target as a variable
  gridimage.stop().animate({width: 200}, 150); //Animate image expanding to original size
 }).mouseout(function(){ //When mouse no longer over menu item
  gridimage.stop().animate({width: 100}, 150); //Animate image back to smaller size
 });
});
</script>

• Now Go To Layout > Add A Gadget > HTML/JavaScript > Paste following HTML :

<div id="menuwrapper">
 <div id="menu">
  <a href="#" class="menuitem"><img src="Image1"></a><!--Template for each menu item-->
  <a href="#" class="menuitem"><img src="Image2"></a>
  <a href="#" class="menuitem"><img src="Image3"></a>
  <a href="#" class="menuitem"><img src="Image4"></a>
  <a href="#" class="menuitem"><img src="Image5"></a>
 </div>
</div>

Now replace # with you links and Image 1/2/3/4/5 with your image url and just like this you can add as many images as you want....if this widget is not working then check if there is any other CSS in your template with same class and delete it.
