Add a Clean/Dark Featured Content Slider to Blogger with CSS and JavaScript

Here's another clean featured content using CSS and JavaScript. This featured content slider holds a mini-gallery for previews right underneath it's images which can also be used for navigation. Right above the mini-gallery there's also another mini-navigation with an "i" embedded right in the middle. Readers can click on this "i" for more information on the featured content.

Add these scripts to your header:

<script src='http://www.stunicholls.com/gallery/slides/jquery-1.4.2.min.js' type='text/javascript'/>

<script src='http://www.stunicholls.com/gallery/slides/multi-slide.js' type='text/javascript'/>

Professional CSS Hover Menu with images

This professional hover menu is designed on pure CSS. For pages that already contains a high volume of code and is already almost surpassing the page speed limit, this hover menu can help you add that featured content without tampering with latency. Like most featured contents, this hover menu also allows you to input keywords that will help you rank better in search engines. Let's get started, but first and foremost, always remember to back-up your current existent template in case it doesn't turn out as expected.

Page crease for DIV boxes using CSS

This tutorial is will produce those page crease containers you usually see on most blogs/site. This tutorial allows you to do just that to any DIV elements located anywhere on your blog/site. It does so by using relative positioning to slightly offset a DIV to the bottom right while using it's background image (in this case, the creased image) as its border of the outer DIV. Let's get started, but first and foremost, always remember to back-up your current existent template in case it doesn't turn out as expected.



Click here to view a demo
(Although the demo is not showing the border, when implemented in Blogger, border will be visible.)

Download the entire zip file
(Zip files include entire codings along with images needed to implement this tutorial.)

CSS SECTION CODE
(Section code below should be placed in the CSS part of your template, located right before your closing head tag.)

<style type="text/css">
.curlycontainer{
border: 1px solid #b8b8b8;
margin-bottom: 1em;
width: 300px;
}

.curlycontainer .innerdiv{
background: transparent url(media/brcorner.gif) bottom right no-repeat;
position: relative;
left: 2px;
top: 2px;
padding: 1px 4px 15px 5px;
}
</style>

HTML SECTION CODE
(section code below should be placed in your desired location but in your HTML section code, you can also use "Add a Gadget" under Page Elements and move it to your desired location.)

<div class="curlycontainer">
<div class="innerdiv">
<b>Some title</b> <br />
Some text here.Some text here. Some text here.<br />
Some text here.Some text here. Some text here.<br />
Some text here.Some text here. Some text here.<br />
Some text here.Some text here.
</div>
</div>

NOTE: Remember that you can always modify the CSS part of the section code to your desired styles.
