Simple CSS menu with hover effect

If you don't like the classic blogger menus you can choose to use simple and cool menu with a hoover effect. The menu will show text and a link to your pages. It is very simple easy and will fit for most of the blogs. So let's get started with this.


First we have to add the CSS. 
  • Go to Blogger Dashboard>Design> Edit HTML
  • Backup your template 
  • Press CTRL+F and find ]]> and paste the following code above it.


    ul#navlist {
        display: inline;
        list-style: none;
    }

    ul#navlist li {
        float: left;
        width: 60px;
        height:60px;
    }

    ul#navlist li a {
        width: 50px;
        height:50px;
        padding:5px;
        display:block;

    color:#fff;
        text-decoration: none;
        font-size:7pt;
        font-family:arial;
        line-height:50px;
        text-align:center;

    border-right:1px solid #fff;
        border-left:1px solid #fff;
        border-top: 5px solid #fff;
        border-bottom: 5px solid #fff;
        background: #003663;
    }

    ul#navlist li a:hover {
        border-top: 5px solid #004a80;
        border-bottom: 5px solid #004a80;
        background:#004a80;
        font-size:9pt;
        font-weight:bold;
    }



Once you have done that save your template.
Now, click on the button below and select your blog and add the code
  • One
