Add Css/Jquery fixed horizontal menu to blogger blog

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
This navigation bar gets semi-transparent when you scroll down the page and is slightly showing up by fading out and becoming almost transparent. When the user hovers over it, the menu becomes opaque again. Inside of the navigation there are some links, a search input and a top and bottom button that allows the user to navigate to the top or bottom of the page.

Making a gadget visible only to the blog administrator

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
And the post title says it all. There are gadgets that sometimes we want to be visible only to us and not to our blog readers, perhaps a Survey already ended that we want to keep, a counter, or any gadget that while we customize, we don't want anyone else to see until the final result is ready. 
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkBsVLug_J4OBxDxh0cSnt7TGHt_6Lx8hrVX7S4ddxcYN9Dwev-BJPvx27Pps0hEDtIbEqQWIv5n5k9FWGjbN7I9e7mrPudPxPyzCvjxYNV-slQq4dXvh5tDIZ9SnMEwprrF8mke9JXoku/s1600/blogger_widgets_visible_only_to_admin.jpg" /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
 </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The procedure is simple, we just have to add two lines to our gadget that we want to hide.</div>
 
First thing to do is to go to Template > Edit HTML and then search for the gadget's code we want to hide. It will be easier using the CTRL + F keys and locating the name of the gadget/widget. 
 
For example, in a HTML/Javascript gadget, we will see a code like this: 
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
 </div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
 <b:widget id='HTML1' locked='false' title='' type='HTML'><b:includable id='main'><span style="border: none; color: #cc0000; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 11px; font-style: italic; line-height: 20px; list-style: none; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;"><b:if cond='data:title != &quot;&quot;'><h2 class='title'><data:title/></h2></b:if><div class='widget-content'><data:content/></div> 
<b:include name='quickedit'/><span style="border: none; color: #cc0000; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 11px; font-style: italic; line-height: 20px; list-style: none; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;"></b:includable></b:widget></blockquote>
<div id="adsmiddle19061515422989240128" style="background-color: #f9f9f9; color: #333333; font-family: 'Istok Web', sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">
All you have to do is add the parts in red and ready. If you close the session go to your blog you'll not be able to view the gadget that you have hidden, but as soon as you sign in you will see that it is visible to you.</div>
<div style="background-color: #f9f9f9; color: #333333; font-family: 'Istok Web', sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin: 10px auto;">
</div>
<div id="adsmiddle29061515422989240128" style="background-color: #f9f9f9; color: #333333; font-family: 'Istok Web', sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">
Not all gadgets have the same structure like in my example, but it will be easier to guide you, just place the first code in red just after <b:includable id='main'> 
 
And the second red code just before </b:includable> 
Note: to look inside the widget's code, click on the sideways arrow next to the widget's id. 
 
And with that the gadget will be hidden for readers except you.

Orbit - jQuery Image Slider Plugin For Blogger

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<div class="tr_bq">
Today I'm sharing with you another beautiful image slider for Blogger / BlogSpot made with jQuery and, of course, with HTML and CSS. This slider called Orbit is a lightweight jQuery plugin for displaying multiple images in a limited space using navigation arrows (previous-next buttons). On the upper left of the Orbit slideshow, we have some bullet icons indicating the current image that we are viewing and on the upper right side is the pause option and a timer letting the user know when the next image will be displayed.</div>
 
The HTML markup is pretty clean, just an element that wraps multiple images where the captions are generated from the title tags of these images.

How to add the Orbit Image Slider to Blogger</h3>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Step 1. From your Blogger Dashboard, go to Template > Edit HTML > click anywhere and press the CTRL + F keys to open the blogger search box. Paste or type the </head> tag inside the search box and hit Enter to find it.</div>
 
Step 2. Just above the </head> tag, add the following scripts: 
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
 </div>
<blockquote style="clear: both;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
</div>
 
 
Note: You can change the transitions speed between each image by modifying the 5000 value from the line in blue - a higher number will make the pictures stay longer between each transition. 
 
Important! If you have already a version of jQuery in your template, remove the line in red, otherwise the slideshow might not work. 
 
Step 3. Now it is time to add the CSS... find this tag: 
 
 
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
 <span style="background-color: yellow; border: none; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 11px; font-style: italic; line-height: 20px; list-style: none; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;"> ]]></b:skin></blockquote>
 
Step 4. Just above ]]></b:skin> add this code:

This code contains the images, links and descriptions for each image. In blue are the URLs of the links and images that you need to replace with your own. Inside the HTML code of each image, you have the size of each picture which can be changed by modifying the width (590) and height (348) values. To add the description for your pictures, replace the text in red.  
 
To add more pictures, add this HTML before the </div> tag: 
<blockquote class="tr_bq">

Notice that each image and description has an identifier (id) - this identifier should be unique. For instance, in the description text of the first image, we have the id="photo1" and within the image code is the rel attribute with the name of the id, that is rel="photo1".
