How to Add a Scroll-to-Top Button in Blogger (No Plugin)

Step 1: Go to Blogger → Theme → Edit HTML

Step 2: Add This CSS Before </head>

Search for </head> and paste this above it:

<style>
#scrollToTop {
  position: fixed;
  bottom: 30px;
  right: 30px;
  background-color: #007bff;
  color: white;
  padding: 10px 14px;
  border-radius: 50%;
  font-size: 18px;
  cursor: pointer;
  z-index: 999;
  display: none;
  box-shadow: 0 4px 8px rgba(0,0,0,0.3);
  transition: opacity 0.4s;
}
#scrollToTop:hover {
  background-color: #0056b3;
}
</style>

Step 3: Add the Button Before </body>

Search for </body> and paste this above it:

<div id="scrollToTop" title="Go to top">↑</div>

Step 4: Add JavaScript for Functionality

Paste this just after the div above or in the same place before </body>:

<script>
var scrollBtn = document.getElementById("scrollToTop");

window.onscroll = function() {
  if (document.body.scrollTop > 300 || document.documentElement.scrollTop > 300) {
    scrollBtn.style.display = "block";
  } else {
    scrollBtn.style.display = "none";
  }
};

scrollBtn.onclick = function() {
  window.scrollTo({top: 0, behavior: 'smooth'});
};
</script>

That’s it — your scroll-to-top button is now live!
