Hiding Blogger NavBar

Hiding the Blogger Navbar isn't difficult!

I currently recommend this in all cases because of the influx of malware blogs, splog farms and the liberal dose of disgusting porn. I equate it with giving your children the cable remote without having "Parental Locks" in place.

There is some really raunchy stuff lurking out there under the guise of "Next Blog"! I have disabled it on my personal blog, Bonnie Writes because I had several complaints from parents of children at my church. My blog is PG rated, but allowing their children free reign took them to some embarrassing places.

And if you visit any blogs with the navbar in place, I would forcefully discourage clicking. Some very nasty malwares are being transmitted to unsuspecting surfers.

With all that said...to hide the Blogger Navbar...

Place this code between <head> and </head >and BEFORE <body>

<!--Remove NavBar --><style type='text/css'>#b-navbar {height: 0px; visibility: hidden; display: none;}</style>
<style type='text/css'>#navbar-iframe {height: 0px; visibility: hidden; display: none;}</style>

    I'm a newbie who just started constructing my blog and I'm afraid I don't know where to paste this. I clicked on html but I can't find the terms you list for the insert. Help, please?!
    Bonnie S. Calhoun said...
    Hi Maria...LOL...it would have been easier to help you if you had a blog up that I could respond on.

    You need to click on the edit html tab...a window opens up. Scrool down the code until you find
    the HEAD tag ...place the code between there and the ending HEAD tag...like I wrote in the post...and make sure that it winds up coming before the BODY tag!

    Hi Bonnie,
    Thanks a million for spelling it out for me!! I finally figured it out and it worked. Now my brand new blog, "Travels in Nicaragua" looks SO much better.
    All the Very Best to You

    Hi, I really don't find the tag which you have mention. I don't know where to insert the code. I am not a web geek, just a surfer but like to have my own blog, guide me please
    Bonnie S. Calhoun said...
    Shanker it depends on what kind of template you have. If you list your blog address, I will go and look.

    Go to your Edit HTML page for your template code and scroll down the code. It will be a line close to the left hand margin of the page!

    Hi, I did this and it worked great, but then my wife wanted it back, so I deleted the entry, but it didn't come back! Any suggestions?

    #navbar-iframe {height:0px;visibility:hidden;display:none
    my blog is riyasethi.blogspot.com

    thanks
    Bonnie S. Calhoun said...
    Do not insert the code at the very beginning.

    Scroll down until you see the end head tag </head> and put the code right BEFORE THAT ENDING.
    ggs said...

    This is a great code, BUT, how do I edit things now without the nav bar at the top. i.e. customize, html fonts and colors. How do I get there now?
    Bonnie S. Calhoun said...
    You log into Blogger, and do it all from your Dashboard.

    Leafs Fan said...
    Wow, that was fast... Thank you....

    And while I have you. Can I also ask:

    My blog is
    URL: http://
    onthisdayinleafshistory.blogspot.com/

    Browser(s) used: Mozilla Firefox


    I have just switched over from the normal rounders skin to one that had a three column skin i.e Blogger Template by Blogcrowds I can't seem to get some of the everday functions to work

    1) when I change the color of the main page it also changes the color of the top left sidebar and bottom right sidebar.

    2) ***what i would like to do is control the color of all sidebars. Is this possible?

    I've read some of the articles but there doesn't seem to be any help for the rounders templates on this problem especially the three column rounders .

    Can you HELP ..... desperate..... Thank you.

    Sorry if I've posted this in the wrong place...
    Bonnie S. Calhoun said...
    Hang on...let me have a look!
    Bonnie S. Calhoun said...
    Okay...I see color in the right top sidebar and the next two boxes down...but the rest of it is white.

    Where did you change the color in the template?
    Leafs Fan said...
    Under "layout" then "fonts and colors" there is no way to control each unit or sidebar.

    You would think that would be an easy option.

    But if I change the color of the main post background in the center it also changes the color of the top left and bottom right side bars. Very strange indeed. Hence all the white.

    Thanks for your help.
    Bonnie S. Calhoun said...
    That won't work for something as technical as you want to do. You will have to go to the code and actually add a color delineator to each column part to get the colors to change. Change the color back to all white and then start again.

    Go into the Edit HTML, and add the color, then PREVIEW the change. If the color is not where you want it then hit the CLEAR EDITS.

    Then you will be back to where you started. Do NOT save any changes until it looks the way you want it.
    Leafs Fan said...
    Thank you I'll try that. You're a gem.

    Bonnie S. Calhoun said...
    LOL...I do not accept gem status until it works for you :-)

    Thanks for the help. My blog is a ministry based blog and I was concerned about folks innocently clicking on next blog and going who knows where. I do not know a thing about html so you must be good for it to work for me. I would love for the blog to look like our website but I will save that for another day.
    Thank you
