How to Add Jump to Top / Back to Top in Blogger Footer

You might have seen a Link or Button image saying "Return to the top of the page" or "Back to Top" or "Jump to Top" on lot of websites and blogs. I will explain you how to add such functionality in your blogger blog.

Back to top

Before starting let's have some basic knowledge about Anchor Tag - Intradocument Linking
Intradocument linking is linking to a location on the same page.

To link to a location on the same page, you need two anchor tags.

Hyperlink Reference <a href=></a>
Name Tag <a name=></a>

This configuration is used for the common Back to Top link on HTML pages.

The code is:

<a href="#destination_name">Destination</a>

The href destination is preceded by the pound sign.

The matching Name Tag: Provides a location to jump to.

<a name="destination_name"></a>

The <a name=> tag is placed at the desired location you wish to jump to. The name must match the hyperlink tag exactly, excluding the pound sign.

Steps to Add Jump to Top Link in blogger:

#Step 1: Go to your blogger dashboard.
#Step 2: Navigate to Layout > Edit HTML.

Layout Edit HTML in Blogger
#Step 3: Find this line of code:

<body>

and replace it with this code:

<body id='top'>

#Step 4: Add this code at the bottom(footer) of your code:

<a href='#'>^ Back to Top ^</a>

#Step 5: Save Template and Done.

How to Add Image Which Link Back to Top

    Hi !
    I want to post the code into my blog but when I search for the line of code in step 3, I don't get it! Is there any other line of code which I can consider? Your help will be most appreciated. Please help as soon as possible!

    @GEEK PLANET, I think the cause of the problem is that you might have other style or other code in your <body> tag. you can just find <body and then make it like <body id='top', no need to do anything else and done ;),

    What do you say should i start new site for Blogger Video tutorials ??? :)
