Create Animated Notification Bar With Jquery Effect

Designing our Blog with enthusiasm and self believe is the most vital point, being a Blogger we try our best to craft our Blog to perfection. However, to stylize a faultless design we more often use Widgets which not only improve our Blog’s appearance but also provide convenience to our readers. Few days ago, we launched a Scrolling-Bar with the close Button and luckily in real short time it became a massive Hit! This is the motive, today we thought to take our blog to the next level by designing a Notification Bar. To make our community more reliable, we have made it lot easier. Users can easily view or dismiss the notification bar any time they like. While I was searching the enormous world of internet, a spectacular idea clicked me, why not we create a notice bar? That would be capable of keeping our visitors updated. So I and my elder Brother accepted this challenge, and finally after a full day hard-hitting coding was able to win the challenge. So today we will learn How to Create a Notice Bar.
