After first 2 steps, now it’s time to add CSS codes for our hover effect. Add CSS codes we give below to the style.css file or anywhere else you would like. You can find 3 image files into the .zip file that is needed for hover effect to work.
.hover-img {width:31.1%; margin:10px;float:left;}
.hover-img img {width:100%; display:block;}
span.link_post{ background-image:url(images/link_post_icon.png);}
span.zoom{ background-image:url(images/zoom_icon.png);}
