Add an Animated Hover Effect Captions on Images in blogger

We have been using Javascripts to add animated captions on hover for images before this. But, inspired by Wibiya’s toolbar Smart Share for post images, I managed to create almost the same effect using CSS3 without using any Javascripts. This effect can be used by both WordPress and Blogger users. The transition effect of the caption only visible in Webkit browser like Google Chrome
