Once you have found the ]]></b:skin> tag successfully, just above it paste the following CSS code.

#scroll {
display: none;
position: fixed;
top: 0;
right: 20px;
z-index: 500;
padding: 3px 8px;

height: 0;
width: 0;
margin-top: -4px;
border: 4px solid transparent;

}

After adding the CSS coding, search for the ending </head> tag and right after it paste the following code. (Tip: Make sure you paste the code between the ending </head> and opening <body> head tag.

<div id='scroll'></div>

Once everything is done, save the template by pressing “Save Template” Button available on the top right corner of your screen.

/*<![CDATA[*/
var scrollTimer = null;
$(window).scroll(function() {
var viewportHeight = $(this).height(),
scrollbarHeight = viewportHeight / $(document).height() * viewportHeight,
progress = $(this).scrollTop() / ($(document).height() - viewportHeight),
distance = progress * (viewportHeight - scrollbarHeight) + scrollbarHeight / 2 - $('#scroll').height() / 2;
$('#scroll')
.css('top', distance)
.text(' (' + Math.round(progress * 100) + '%)')
.fadeIn(100);
if (scrollTimer !== null) {
clearTimeout(scrollTimer);
