Drop Down Menu and Corner Peel Animation

Tuesday, April 5, 2011

I'm a firm believer in giving credit where it's due. As I have worked on developing this blog, I've found number of immensely helpful fellow bloggers who have posted tutorials on how to customize your blogger blog. I had no idea when I first started out that blogger blogs could be customized to such an extent, and as I've jumped into playing with the html template for this blog I've discovered just how much can actually be done.






Over the past few days I've added a dropdown menu to the top of this blog, as well as a corner peel animation for the RSS feed. I want to give credit to the Blogspot Blog by Anshul Dudeja at http://anshuldudeja.blogspot.com/. He provides a number of useful tutorials on how to modify your blogger blog. Although some html knowledge is required (I'm an html novice at best and have only been at this for a few months, so it can be done by anyone with a little tinkering), the results are very nice.

For a horizontal drop-down menu tutorial, go to:

For a corner peel animation tutorial (this one is fairly easy), go to:

Hope this helps!

How to make all links open in new windows

This request to make all hyperlinks pops up every now and then so might as well make a post for it. To make all linksopen in new window is amazingly simple. Just sign into 
DASHBOARD > DESIGN > EDIT HTML 
to open template editor


Use keyboard shortcut ctrl+F to find <head> and immediately after that, add a single line <base target='_blank' /> so that it become

<head>
<base target='_blank' />

Save the edited template and viola, all links in your blog will now open in new tabs or windows.

Note: Blogger is now XHTML so all tags must have matching closing tags or be self closing. The above tag is self closing because it has that forward slash / at the end of the tag.
