That Ugly Blogger Navbar

By Imar at Blogsolid

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!

    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.

    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
