In "post link" place your links and add your post title in ‘place text’
In "image link" place your image link, you can host image on Blogger; just upload you image; preview them and from address bar copy image’s direct code and place them in Image link; otherwise use Tinypic-Upload your image; then copy links from ‘direct links for layout’. You should use images size of 800px width and 400px height bigger size will be scaled into this size.
You can delete a slide content by deleting <a> to </a>
You can add more slide by coping <a> to </a>
You can also change the default image size by changing value of height and width in case you will have change all height width values.

Now check your blog out for make sure it’s working.
FAQ and Caution:
Tested on many template; should work perfectly on any template; if the design breaks then try to find out what breaking the design (mostly the thing disrupt the default design is, default code setting for .widget and .tabs CSS codes)
You may change the default color of this menu just change the background color of .menu-outer and .menu-outer:hover with any rgba or hex color;
Works fine on most latest updated web browsers.
SO what you thinking about this menu don’t forget to mention. Chill.....
Now check your blog out for new link outlook. FAQ and Caution:
This code won’t work if your template has a different name for Post body class, so if this code fails then search within your template for the class name of the post area, and replace them with my given default codes classes.
You can change the links and underlines color, together or separately; just find and replace the color code with your demand.
This code chunk made with CSS and CSS3 should work nicely on any latest web browsers.

Blogger’s default list/bulleting system is using dots, dotting style is cool but not that much cool if you are little bit of stylish and want to stay trendy and also want to represent your lists with high-end taste. That’s reason here I am publishing 6 different style of bullet system calls Arrow, Minus, Check, Plus, Carrow and Star. Made with CSS, Google font, Sprite images and they are super easy to add; designed that way. Let’s see how they look like and how to add them to your Blogger blog.

How to add:
Log in to your Blogger, select your blog
Go to ‘Template’ tab, select ‘Edit HTML’
Search for ]]>< into code snippet (using Ctrl+F or Cmd+F)
Before ]]>< copy paste any of style you want to use
Save template, and see the changes by visiting blog or new post editing
Caution and FAQ:
Most of Template have default list/bullet style designed into template codes; and those code stays in
.post-body ul {} and .post-body ul li {}
So you your template already have these lines; mark them and delete them. And set my given codes.
You can’t use two or more style. But if you know little bit of coding then change the CSS class,
.post-body ul {} and .post-body ul li {} to .1 ul {} and .1 ul li {}
And in post editor switch to HTML, after listing being done; and add CSS class to following ul (like: <ul class="1">)
So what you opinion, feedback about this tutorial don’t forget mention. Goodluck.....

Those menu works fine on non-responsive template but if you using responsive template (adapts any screen size, tabs and mobile phone) also you turned off default mobile view on mobile devices then those menu using is worthless. That case we use responsive navigation bars. For your consideration here I am publishing 3 of coolest responsive navigation bars for your responsive templates. They doesn’t come up with dropdown menu but coming soon (working on that), made with CSS, HTML, CSS3 and jQuery. Let’s see how they look like and how to add them on your Blogger blog.
