Hello there, it is very long time for new tip right?Please accept my apology by this menu called Pull-up Menu.Besides, this menu also has multiple subs.Great?Why is it called Pull-up menu ?With the common menus,most templates use drop down menus, it means they will drop from top to down.So of course, pull-up means it will operate by the opposite way.This is the CSS menu, one other kind of menu that I wanna introduce you and provide you,trust me you cannot see these kinds of menu much on the other webs/blogs.Let's make it!1.Add this code before the ]]></b:skin> tag, then read the instruction under the code to complete this step :
