For easy understanding I am dividing the tutorial in three parts & they are as below,
- Adding Scripts
- Adding Styles
- Adding The Menu
1. Adding Scripts
- Go to Blogger Dashboard > Template
- Click on Edit HTML
- Hit Proceed
- Find below code in your template
</head>
add below code just above it,(If you have already added a jQuery library to your blog then delete the highlighted code)
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.2/jquery.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="http://code.helperblogger.com/lavalamp-menu.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
2. Adding Styles
Now find below code,
]]></b:skin>
add below CSS code immediately before it,
