In the upper right corner of this menu we have the contact links and the social media icons for Facebook, Twitter, Google Plus and RSS feed. Below these links, we have the drop-down navigation menu and on the left side, the search form.
To achieve better user interface and interaction, the CSS dropdown menu features sub categories that appear with a nice touch of CSS3 box-shadow, text-shadow and a cool transition once the parent link is activated by a hover.
Please visit this demo page to see it in action.
Adding the CSS dropdown navigation menu in Blogger
Step 1. Access your Blogger Dashboard and go to Template > click on the Edit HTML button
Step 2. Click anywhere inside the code area and press the CTRL + F keys to open the search box. Type the tag below inside the search box and hit Enter to find it.
</header>Step 3. Just below </header> add the HTML structure:
<div id='contact-links'>Replace the # symbols with the URLs of your links and replace the texts in blue with the titles that you want to appear. To change the social media icons, add the links of your icons instead of the ones in blue. If you don't know how to upload and get the URL of an image, please read this tutorial.
<div id='my-links'>
<a href='#'>About</a>
<a href='#'>Contact</a>

If you want to remove the sub categories, remove the code within the tags highlighted in yellow, including the ul tags. To remove only a menu element, remove the part that starts with <li> and ends with </li>
Step 4. And now let's add the CSS styling for the menu. Search for the following piece of code:
