How to Create classic / beautiful drop down menu in blogger / website ?

Wednesday, April 03, 2013
Added menu on your blog is the best way to organize your blog / site links your important, it allows your readers to easily navigate through your blog that will surely increase your page views on the site and print.

This menu includes CSS and HTML and does not affect the load time of your blog. In my previous post, I discuss a cool drop menu how to add CSS3 drop down menu, create an awesome CSS3 drop down menu and there is still much more is on the way.
When I started blogging, I had everything in my blog. Yes, everything, including a music player and video player, and generators of all kinds. It did not take long before I began to realize that my blog was difficult to navigate. When I got one quarter of the way down the page, I was tired!




I still have many things will change soon, but at least there are more than five columns with flashing things that give me headaches. Learning is a process, so I'm happy to be going well today.

Anyway, when the column solution, another great method of organization is the menu - navigation bar. Rather than have all the elements mentioned in the text boxes, people can be summed up in the top of the blog in a neat horizontal line.
