Blogger FTP Publishers Can Hide / Remove Navbar
If you look on top there is a Blogger Navbar on all blogspot blogs which allow post searches, quick BlogThis! blogging, navigation and flagging tools. But can you hide or remove this navbar?
I had indicated caution in an earlier post to avoid violation of Blogger terms of service. But no clear guidelines were available. If it were acceptable, they would have an option on the blogger dashboard or Blogger Search would reveal many such ways.
Now Bloggers, if you read the latest official Blogger information about the Navbar, it clearly states that “The Navbar appears on all freely-hosted Blog*Spot blogs, but can be disabled for users publishing via FTP.”
*Unless you publish your blog via FTP, the Navbar cannot be disabled.
* We’ve made every effort to make sure the Navbar doesn’t interfere with custom template designs. However, some display problems may occur. Here are a few things to try if you are running into trouble:
• add style=”margin-top:40px;” to the topmost element of your Template.
• make sure the closing “head” tag is present; it should go before the “body” tag.
I think that puts all speculation at rest. For free Blogger users, not publishing via FTP, you cannot disable the Navbar! Of course you can contact Blogger Help for more information.
Update : If you are still having problem removing the navbar – see How to Hide and Remove the Blogger Navbar – details the code tweaks required.

“Go to Template -> Edit HTML: you will find an option called “Change the Blogger NavBar. Change that to “Off” and you will never see the navbar again on your site.”
Thanks!
I own my domain name on blogger which I’ve bought directly from them. Does that mean i’m not doing anything illegal when I remove/hide the navbar?
I would hope i’m not because i’m not using blogger for free anymore.

I recently switched to my custom domain and shifted two blogspot blogs as subdomains to this new private domain.
But I notice that my google rankings have been lost. I was usually on the first page of google, but now its like i am not there at all. Neither the blogspot links show up, nor the new domain links show up at all. What could be wrong?
Does this apply to custom domains?
