As Dock-Menu may be something new for you, so just have a visit to this blog to see the widget in action : Dock-Menu (Look at the bottom of the page)
This is one of those widgets, which you would have probably never seen in any BlogSpot or Blogger blog.
Although mostly bloggers love to add these sort of new widgets but usually nobody searches for these widgets/hacks, so I suggest you to subscribe to this blog to get regular updates from this blog directly to your mail and you will never miss any such unusual widget !This is one of those widgets, which you would have probably never seen in any BlogSpot or Blogger blog.
Now if you are impressed with the widget, and your mind is bubbling with some more ideas to customize it with your own images, lets see how to get it, in to your blog:
Steps to follow:
STEP1:
Download and save these files:
uvumi-dock.css,
uvumi-dock-ie6.css,
mootools-for-dock.js, and
UvumiDock-compressed.js
Zipped File
STEP2:
Upload all those files to Opendrive.com (registration required), and copy their DIRECT LINKS.
STEP3:
Log in to Blogger.com,
Go to "Design" -> "Edit HTML", and find(CTRL+F) this in the template;
</head>and immediately BEFORE/ABOVE it, paste this code:
<!--DOCK-MENU-STARTS-->Before pasting the code, REMEMBER to replace the links in RED with the DIRECT LINKS you got in STEP2.
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.opendrive.com/........../mootools-for-dock.js"> </script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.opendrive.com/........../UvumiDock-compressed.js"> </script>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen" href="http://www.opendrive.com/........../uvumi-dock.css" />
<!--[if lt IE 7]>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen" href="http://www.opendrive.com/........../uvumi-dock-ie6.css" />
<![endif]-->
<script type="text/javascript">
var myDock = new UvumiDock("dock");
</script>
<!--DOCK-MENU-STOP-http://bloggerstop.net-->
Save the template, and go to "Design" -> "Page Elements"
STEP4:
Now click on "Add a Gadget" and select it as "HTML/JavaScript" type.
And finally paste this code in to the widget:
<ul id="dock">Replace the links (in blue) with the links to your own images. That's it. Your blog looks more professional now :)
<li>
<a href="#home"><img src="images/home.png" alt="Home"/></a>

hi, nice blog
ReplyYour Blog is More interesting.great work.
moreover, ...if possible at ur free time visit mine..and give ur suggestion ..
Thnx TechBlizz, I'll surely visit your Blog !
ReplySorry if this is a stupid question, but how do I change the links? Do I put them in front of #?
ReplyI found that you can only link to posts or pages in your own blog. Is it possible to change the links manually? I'm guessing it would take a new code for this...
ReplyYes you can manually change the links to any page/web site you want....
ReplyRemove those #home, #orders etc entirely (including #)
And put some link there, like this:
<li>
<a href="http://bloggerstop.net"><img src="images/home.png" alt="Home"/></a>
</li>
Thanks! How can I change the back ground or font color? The text is cut off on my blog.
Replyyou can change the font color by editing "uvumi-dock.css" file, BEFORE uploading it !
Replyby default, it'll be:
color:#fff; (where #fff is white color)
Thank you, sir! I got a lot of helps from your instruction. web-design is totally strange to me; I know nothing about that, but I complete my blogger step by step due to your favors! Really appreciate!
ReplyI am curious that whether I can put the dock menu to other places instead of the bottom, please?
Finally, still tons of thanks!
Yes dude, you can change the position of menu.
ReplyYou have to edit the UvumiDock-compressed.js file before uploading it.
You'll see this line in it:
var UvumiDock=new Class({Implements:Options,options:{position:'bottom'
So change the position to either top, left or right...
Thank you, sir!
ReplyI followed your instruction, but only 'top' and 'bottom' works.
If I change the script to 'left' and 'right', the dock menu disappears.
I have one more question: is there any way to show the whole dock menu? My dock menu hides a half before moving the mouse cursor on it.
Excuse me I ask many questions in a row ^^"
Appreciate and have a nice day!
Well for all your questions, the most simple answer I have is that you have to edit the same (UvumiDock-compressed.js) file, and then upload it !

@ Everybody:
ReplyA solution to all your queries is here:
|| An easy to position FishEye Dock Menu For Blogger Blogs ||
bellissimo effetto grazie!
Replyciao ho risolto anche il mistero crocetta sulle immagini. In pratica va caricata su un hosting anche l'immagine "blank". Poi bisogna acquisirne l'url e sostituirlo al nome presente nel file "uvumiDock-compressed". Ora il menu funziona perfettamente anche in IE grazie
ReplyWell, I can't understand what your query is...but if it is regarding hotlinkfiles/hosting the files, then I have updated the post and replaced hotlinkfiles with opendrive, so open your account at Opendrive and rest of the tutorial remains the same. I hope it solves your problem.
Replyhello, I'm sorry I was not clear. I solved the problem (red cross on the images) load image "blank" in a host and then inserting link "blank" within the js file. Now I no problems
