I am using a fixed menu at left side of my other Blog Free Downloadz since a long time. Today i came across a same menu at Blogfixes.com. So, i thought i should write about it and explain how to customize. Some of the features of Fixed Menu.

  • It is a Fixed menu.
  • It can be placed anywhere on the blog
  • It can be placed horizontally as well as vertically
  • It has Mouse Hover Effect
Demo: Top of this blog or Free Downloadz

How to add WH Fixed Menu for bloggers

a) CSS Code: Copy and paste the following code between <head> and </head>. Most advisable place would be just before ]]></b:skin> or </b:skin>

.fixed_menu {
position: fixed; /*set the position type for non IE systems*/
top: 140px;
left: 0px;
width: auto;
margin: 0 0px 0px 0px;
background: #ffffff;
opacity:.900;
filter: alpha(opacity=90);
padding: 7px 5px 5px 5px;
-moz-border-radius-topright: 10px;
-moz-border-radius-topleft: 0px;
-moz-border-radius-bottomright: 10px;
-moz-border-radius-bottomleft: 0px;
}

.fixed_menu a:hover img {
position: relative;
top: 2px;
left: 2px;
border-top: 1px solid #b3b3b3;
border-left: 1px solid #b3b3b3;
border-bottom: 2px solid #999999;
border-right: 2px solid #999999;
}

.fixed_menu a { display: block; } /*Optional : This puts each link in the menu on a new line, remove if you want a horizontal menu*/

* html .fixed_menu {position:absolute;} /*IE only change the position mode of the menu*/
