How To Customize “Block quotes” In Blogger With Mouse Hover Effect – The Blinking Bulb!


blinking bulb This tutorial will really enable you to create stunning and attractive blockquote for your blogger posts or websites. This blockquote will change color when mouse cursor is hovered over it. I have already shared two tutorials namely 14 Amazing Ways To Customize Block quotes Style In Blogger and Blockquote Style with Auto Number List But this blockquote effect is exceptional! Just have a look of an example blockquote below.

Hover your mouse cursor on the blockquote below.

 
Interesting, isn’t it? Now let’s learn how to add similar effects like the blinking bulb effect above.
 

Add The Blinking Bulb Blockquote To Blogger

This blockquote can be added in the similar way as explained in my earliar posts. If you are new then read this part of my previous post –> Add and Customize Blockquote In Blogger

The CSS code to be inserted just above ]]></b:skin> is this,

blockquote {
background: #000 url(http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_7wsQzULWIwo/SwrLJYGc77I/AAAAAAAACUE/-dlubJwo7Ts/s1600/bulb-off.gif) no-repeat right bottom ;
margin: 0 20px;
padding: 20px 70px 20px 20px;
color:#595959;
font: bold 0.9em "comic sans ms", "Times New Roman", Times, serif;
border:1px solid #DDD;
}

blockquote:hover {
background: #000 url(http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_7wsQzULWIwo/SwrLJkLtM5I/AAAAAAAACUM/eYRiZpE_860/s1600/bulb-on.gif) no-repeat right bottom ;
color:#E0E089;
}


blockquote p {
margin: 0;
padding-top:10px;
}

 

The second image in red link appears on mouse hover and the second image in green link appears when mouse is moved away from the blockquote.

Create Custom Blockquote Of Your Choice!

You can use similar effect by changing the background images, font colors, border colors or background colors etc. The first part in the CSS code above i.e blockquote { bla bla } represents the effect on normal view and the second code i.e blockquote:hover { bla bla } is responsible for the hover effect. So you can easily customize the font and border types and colors along with background colors to create a cool mouse hover effect.

I have shared some examples below which uses no image at all,

Thanks a lot for the info. It´s been very useful. One question: Can this Hover effect be used when we have used two images for the "block quotes"?

Congratulations, and thanks again.

Mohammad Mustafa Ahmedzai on 10:42 PM, November 25, 2009 said...

I did not understand your question pal!
Do you want to show first the post title and then your Homepage's Title?

If that is the case than do this,

1. Inside your blog template, search for <title><data:blog.pageTitle/></title>
2. Replace it with this,
<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == &quot;item&quot;'>
<title><data:blog.pageName/> | <data:blog.title/></title>
<b:else/>
<title><data:blog.pageTitle/></title>
</b:if>

3. Save your template and after few days, you will see that your post title is followed by your blog main title.

Another thing,


I have checked your meta's through your blog source file and found that they are as follows,
pune university computer science exam papers,B.C.S,Software,Exam tips
Kindly shorten the first keyword to at most three phrases.

Mohammad Mustafa Ahmedzai on 6:53 PM, November 27, 2009 said...

@nil

Yes it is. Windows Live Writer is really multi-functional.

At the top-left-corner of your live writer click the File Menu and then choose Open
There you will your blog title, simply click it to browse all published posts.


Hope that would help!
