Add Css/Jquery Fixed Horizontal Menu To Blogger Blog

This navigation bar gets semi-transparent when you scroll down the page and is slightly showing up by fading out and becoming almost transparent. When the user hovers over it, the menu becomes opaque again.

Inside of the navigation there are some links, a search input and a top and bottom button that allows the user to navigate to the top or bottom of the page.

-> SEE DEMO <-

Let's start adding it...

1. Go To Blogger - Template - Edit HTML

....and select the "expand widget templated" box:

2. Search (using CTRL + F) for this piece of code:

</head>

3. Just above/before the </head> tag, add this code:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://helplogger.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/html/[helplogger.blogspot.com]Fixed Fade Out Menu.css"/>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://helplogger.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/html/[helplogger.blogspot.com]jquery-1.3.2.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
            $(function() {
                $(window).scroll(function(){
                    var scrollTop = $(window).scrollTop();
                    if(scrollTop != 0)
                        $('#nav').stop().animate({'opacity':'0.2'},400);
                    else
                        $('#nav').stop().animate({'opacity':'1'},400);
                });

                $('#nav').hover(
                    function (e) {
                        var scrollTop = $(window).scrollTop();
                        if(scrollTop != 0){
                            $('#nav').stop().animate({'opacity':'1'},400);
                        }
                    },
                    function (e) {
                        var scrollTop = $(window).scrollTop();
                        if(scrollTop != 0){
                            $('#nav').stop().animate({'opacity':'0.2'},400);
                        }
                    }
                );
            });
        </script>

4) Now search for this tag:

<body>

If you can't find it, search for this one:

<body expr:class='"loading" + data:blog.mobileClass'>

5) Just below/after this code, copy and paste the following code:

<div id="nav">
<ul>
<li><a class="top" href="#top"><span></span></a></li>
<li><a class="bottom" href="#bottom"><span></span></a></li>
<li><a href='URL address'><span>Link 1</span></a></li>
<li><a href='URL address'><span>Link 2</span></a></li>

</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div id="top"></div>
<div class="desc"></div>
<div id="bottom"></div>
<div class="scroll"></div>

Note: Replace URL address with the URL of your pages and Link 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 with the name of the link that will appear in the menu.

A Simple Related Posts Widget For Blogger

In the last tutorial, i've been talking about the Related Posts widget that shows related posts along with thumbnails just at the end of your blog articles. Some of the users, however, would prefer a simpler and cleaner displaying of their related posts so that it would show just the posts titles. So let's begin adding it!

How to add Related Posts Widget to Blogger

Step 1. Go to Template >> Edit HTML and tick the "Expand Widget Templates" checkbox

Step 2. Find the below tag

</head>

Step 3. And just above it, paste the following code:

<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == "item"'>
<style type='text/css'>
#related-posts {
float:center;
text-transform:none;
height:100%;
min-height:100%;
padding-top:5px;
padding-left:5px;
margin-top: 20px;
}
#related-posts .widget{
padding-left:6px;
margin-bottom:10px;
}
#related-posts .widget h2, #related-posts h2{
font-size: 17px;
font-weight: normal;
color: black;
font-family: Arial Narrow;
margin-bottom: 0.75em;
padding-top: 0em;
}
#related-posts a{
font-size:16px;
color: #555555;
font-variant:small-caps;
}
#related-posts a:hover{
text-decoration: none;
color: #ffffff;
font-weight: bold;
}
#related-posts ul{
list-style-type:none;
margin:0 0 0px 0;
padding:0px;
text-decoration:none;
text-color:#000000
}
#related-posts ul li{
list-style-type: none;
border-left: 2px solid #1399CF;
border-bottom: 1px dotted #1399CF;
margin-bottom: 3px;
padding-left: 30px;

#related-posts ul li:hover{
background-color: #1399CF;
border-left: 2px solid #B3CA3D;
border-bottom: 1px dotted #B3CA3D;
}
</style>
<script type='text/javascript'>
var relatedpoststitle="Related Posts";
</script>
<script src='http://helplogger.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/related_posts.js' type='text/javascript'/>
</b:if>

Note:
- if you want to change the size and color of 'Related Posts' title, change the bolded values (17 for the font size and black for the color)

-to change the related post title color, replace the value in red;
-to change the background color on mouseover, replace the color value in blue;

Step 4. Now find (CTRL + F) the below line:

<div class='post-footer'>

Step 5. Just above it, paste the code below:

<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == "item"'>
<div id='related-posts'> <b:loop values='data:post.labels' var='label'> <b:if cond='data:label.isLast != "true"'> </b:if> <b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == "item"'> <script expr:src='"/feeds/posts/default/-/" + data:label.name + "?alt=json-in-script&callback=related_results_labels&max-results=6"' type='text/javascript'/></b:if></b:loop>
<script type='text/javascript'> var maxresults=5; removeRelatedDuplicates(); printRelatedLabels("<data:post.url/>"); </script> </div> </b:if>

Note: In order to change the number of maximum related posts being displayed for each label, search for the code max-results=5 and change the number "5" to any desired number.

    (function(w2b){
        w2b(document).ready(function(){
            var $dur = "medium"; // Duration of Animation
            w2b("#fbplikebox").css({right: -250, "top" : 100 })
            w2b("#fbplikebox").hover(function () {
                w2b(this).stop().animate({
                    right: 0
                }, $dur);
            }, function () {
                w2b(this).stop().animate({
                    right: -250
                }, $dur);
            });
            w2b("#fbplikebox").show();
        });
    })(jQuery);
/*]]>*/
</script>
<div id="fbplikebox" style="display:none;">
    <div class="fbplbadge"></div>
    <iframe src="http://www.facebook.com/plugins/likebox.php?href=YOUR-FACEBOOK-PAGE&width=250&height=250&colorscheme=light&show_faces=true&border_color=%23C4C4C4&stream=false&header=false" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="border:none; overflow:hidden; width:250px; height:250px;background:#FFFFFF;" allowtransparency="true"></iframe>
</div>

7. Replace YOUR-FACEBOOK-PAGE text above with the URL of your facebook fan page.
Also replace the : symbol in your URL with %3A and / with %2F

For example, my facebook fan page is:

http://www.facebook.com/pages/Helplogger/120574614736021
After replacing the characters above, your facebook fan page should look like this:
http%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fpages%2FHelplogger%2F120574614736021

Other settings (optional):
- to change the width and height of the facebook box, change the bolded values (250)
- to change the background color of the facebook fan box, replace #FFFFFF with the hex code of your color (you can choose it from here)
- if you want to change the color of the facebook badge (facebook button) replace this code #3B5998
with your own.

8. Now you can save your widget. Enjoy!
