That Ugly Blogger Navbar

By Imar

I received a comment from Greta asking “Do you know how can i remove the ugly Blogger toolbar?”

Hi Greta.

You are able to ditch the Blogger navbar if you are hosting your Blogger.com blog on your own domain and publishing via FTP. If that sounds like Greek to you, don’t worry, read on.

If your blog lives on blogspot (hosted by Blogger.com), apparently the “ugly toolbar” is there to stay. Your best option would be to change the colour of the Blogger navbar to suit the design of your blog a little better. Unfortunately your choice consists of only four different colour schemes.

To find this setting, log into your blog, then on the Dashboard, click Manage > “Layout”. Under Template > “Page Elements”, click “Edit” on the Navbar, right at the top of the layout diagram.

A “Navbar Configuration” popup window should appear presenting you with the four options. Not much of a “configuration” if you ask me!

Know of any hacks or other ways to pimp the Blogger.com navbar? Let us know in comments :)

    Put this in your CSS:

    #b-navbar {
    height:0px;
    visibility:hidden;
    display:none
    }

    U can use this piece of code in your blog template stylesheet -

    #navbar-iframe {
    height:0px;
    visibility:hidden;
    display:none
    }

    Add this code, save template and voila. NJoy – no navbar.

    Wow; thanks at first to the Autor of this nice Blog;
    and then to Paul and Bikram . I will try it . .

  4. Blogsolid Says:

    I could not get Paul’s method to work, but Bikram’s code does the trick.

    On the Dashboard, click Manage > “Layout”. Under Template, click “Edit HTML”. In the editing box, scroll down a little way to where the CSS starts. Paste the code there.

    I don’t know how legal it is, but it works – no more navbar!

    If I disable the navbar, then the login also disapears, how to disable just only the “next-blog” button in the nave bar

  6. Bernie Says:

    That Blogger nav bar is pretty darn ugly. If you disable the nav bar, can Blogger take your blog away?

    I am thinking of going to Wordpress because this very issue.

    i swore this piece of code were still working,
    you need to give a try,
    or also you can go to my blog to have a look, because i made it all by this code.
    i was get too many fake codes before.
    but now i finally found the truly working of that code,
    i think i really needs to share at once.
    so, get code then put this code in your css:
    .Navbar {
    visibility:hidden;
    display: none;
    }
    at last, save your template and check it out,
    i wished you’ll see what you want to see, in a very normal state, because you know, nothing is the absolute. hope the code can really give you help. good luck
