Trying to create a nice sidebar menu.

By Bnoslen01 on 31 Jan 2014 at 01:50 UTC

Hey, I'm upgrading my site and I'm trying to create a simple, yet decorative sidebar menu. I really want to create one that is similar to the "im interested in..." menu on this site: http://columbiaymca.org/. If anyone could help point me in the right direction, and let me know what I need to do in order to accomplish this, I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks.

Think in terms of a menu

Think in terms of a menu block, you create a menu, add the links, then in block admin you add to the desired block to a region. By adding a title to the block, you can get the "I',m Interested In". Then style with css as desired.

Style with css

Thank You. But do you have any idea how I'd go about styling it like its done in the website? If you could point me towards a website or any code that would help me that'd be great.

You will need to know css

You will need to know css (import to know for building any web site) and how to use your browsers inspect tool (it will allow you to examine the generate html to determine what you need to apply the css to).

To give you a starting point here are some of the css keywords you will want to use, padding, background, linear-gradient (http://www.colorzilla.com/gradient-editor/ is useful for generating them), border, border-radius. color, font-family, font-size.
