COOL BLOGGER NOTIFICATION BAR


This tutorial deals with the cool notification bar which works best by grabbing readers attention and helps you to focus readers towards important deals, announcements or any story. It functions on pure JQuery light-weight functions and is compatible with all major browsers including IE9.

Custom, unique and non-commercial plugins are always better then public designs. HelloBar is now too common and used everywhere and you may not like the limited design customizations offers provided by them along with their logo on the plugin. HelloBar also requests URL redirection and you need to register to use it. Scripts are stored at Hellobar server and the browser needs to send a request in order to display it on your blog or site. Really not appropriate if you don't like redirection and attribution links.
Blogger Notification bar requires no registration and provides far better design flexibility. The scripts are less than 6KB in size and fully hosted at your server.  You can change its look and theme to any color that may blend your layouts. Every single element is well structured and can easily be configured. A perfect tool to play with.
