Removing the Blogger navbar

April 3rd, 2009

I’ve mentioned in previous posts that Google’s Blogger is an excellent platform to blog for free. However, it does have an annoying navbar as “standard” which makes a blog look a little amateurish (in my opinion ;) that is).

 

 
However, if you have a Blogger blog and don’t like the navbar it can be easily removed.


A Reason To Remove It

It looks more professional without it: Depending on what your purpose for blogging is, you may want to remove the Blogger navbar as it’s obvous the blog is free-hosted and less like a professional site worth taking seriously.

A Reason To Keep It

It makes editing a little bit easier: You can login directly from the blog itself, and don’t have to worry about logging into the main Blogger main site first.

How To Remove It

If you’ve decided that you definitely want to remove your Blogger navbar, it’s actually a very simple process that any non-techy person can do. I managed to do it with my very first blog and I’m certainly not a technical brain box!

Just follow these steps:

1. Open your Blogger dashboard.

2. Go to your blog’s Layout settings > Edit HTML

3. Look for:

/* Variable definitions
====================

4. And above that add:

#navbar-iframe { display: none !important; }

5. Save your settings and open your blog now. The navigation bar will be gone.

Easy peasy!
