How-To add "Scroll To Top" button, An Award and Giveaway

Hi guys!  I hope you had a jolly St. Patrick's Day weekend!  Do you spend countless hours on Pinterest?! Don't you think the "scroll to top" button on the bottom right corner is a lifesaver when Pinteresting around?! I do!  So I added a "scroll to top" button on my blog for easy peasy blog reading for you guys!  This gives your fingers a rest when trying to scroll up and down for hours.


This is what mine looks like if you haven't checked it out yet!

Do you want to add one to your blog?
Here's my tutorial on how to add it!!
1. Go to your blogger dashboard, then Dashboard, then Edit HTML

2. Hit Ctr+F (command and find) the following code in your template:  

</body>

3.  Under </body> copy and paste the following code:

<style type="text/css">

#w2b-StoTop {-moz-border-radius: 5px;-webkit-border-radius: 5px;border-radius: 5px; width:100px;background-color: #EEEEEE;background-color: rgba(238, 238, 238, 0.6);filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient(startColorStr='#99EEEEEE',EndColorStr='#99EEEEEE');text-align:center;padding:5px;position:fixed;bottom:10px;right:10px;cursor:pointer;color:#444;text-decoration:none;border:1px solid #C9C9C9;}

</style>

<script type="text/javascript" src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.5.1/jquery.min.js"></script>

<script type='text/javascript'>

    $(function() {

        $.fn.scrollToTop = function() {

            $(this).hide().removeAttr("href");

            if ($(window).scrollTop() != "0") {

                $(this).fadeIn("slow")

            }

            var scrollDiv = $(this);

            $(window).scroll(function() {

                if ($(window).scrollTop() == "0") {

                    $(scrollDiv).fadeOut("slow")

                } else {

                    $(scrollDiv).fadeIn("slow")

                }

            });

            $(this).click(function() {

                $("html, body").animate({

                    scrollTop: 0

                }, "slow")

            })

        }

    });

    $(function() {

        $("#w2b-StoTop").scrollToTop();

    });

</script>

<a href='#' id='w2b-StoTop' style='display:none;'>Scroll to Top </a>

4.  Save your template and enjoy your new Scroll To Top button! :)
