How To Customize It?
- Here normal ul and li rules are applied
- To change background simply change background: #414141;
- Replace every # with your own link
- To create a drop down menu inside a Main Menu link simple add to it a rel attribute like
rel="ddsubmenu1Change the drop down number accordingly.
Use HTML Editor?
I highly recommend you to use the HTML Editor as you can edit and see live demo of your menu inHTML Editor.
Further Help?
Many newbies bloggers gets the problem while adding links and texts.If you are getting the same problem then simply provide a tree menu of your menu,I will build the HTML part for you.Also feel free to ask your any little query...
