HelloCotton Comes to an End

Saturday, March 30, 2013

Last week, we heard the news that Google Reader was going to be deleted in July. Now we hear that Hellocotton - a social media site for female bloggers of all kinds, will be next to be shut down. I found some of my favourite blogs on Hellocotton and will be sad to see it go. It was a great idea and such a fab resource to find amazing bloggers all over the world.

Make your Navigation Fixed when Scrolling on Blogger

Many popular sites, like Facebook for example, are starting to use a scrollable or sticky navigation bar. This is a menu navigation bar that is under/above your header and once you scroll and the top of the window "hits" the navigation bar, the navigation bar will "stick" to it and scroll down the content of the page. I have one planned for the update to this site. It means that the user/reader, doesn't have to scroll back to the top of the page to choose a different page or topic. Here's how to do it on Blogger.
