then press the opacity stopwatch to begin animating the shadow.

   After pressing a diamond will            appear.These diamonds will  act  like bookmarks for the changes you make.                                                                                                                                                                                             

  make sure your shadow layer is highlighted.      

drag the blue thing to end and press the diamond to place one on the line.

press on the diamonds on the time line and make sure the opacity on both is 100%.

then do the same stuff for the  middle one but change its opacity to 0% this will make your shadow disappear in the  middle of the animation before turning dark again.

to watch your animation back and check it press the play button on the timeline

If done correctly it should look this.The blog address can be animated similarly by changing positions instead of opacity.
