How to Hide, Disable, Remove Blogger Navbar
How can you hide, disable or remove the Blogger Navbar, a navigation and search bar on top of all blogspot blogs on Blogger. Blogger navbar has several useful features and different colours, but sometimes it may not blend with your template, and give you an unprofessional design.
Many bloggers have asked me how to remove this Blogger navbar. Remember, Blogger Navbar can be disabled for users publishing via FTP as per Blogger Terms of service. For free Blogger users, not publishing via FTP, you cannot disable the Navbar. So it is best to confirm with Blogger support that you can indeed hide the Navbar before proceeding to do so. You do not want your blog banned by them for such a small issue. I take no responsibility for the same.
Navbar in Blogger FTP Blogs
Now if you are publishing by FTP, some tips are available on other websites to which I point you.
Turn off the Blogger Navbar – the best and official way – Go to Template, and now a new option “OFF” appears in the drop down list of “Change the Blogger NavBar”. Just select it and republish your blog.
To hide it in custom templates published via FTP is add style="margin-top:40px;" to the topmost element of your Template. (i.e. <table> would become <table style="margin-top:40px;">)
Hide Blogger Navbar in Custom Themes
For all other custom themes, the best way to hide the blogger navbar is add the following code to the HEAD section of your blog HTML.
<style type="text/css">
#navbar-iframe {
height:0px;
visibility:hidden;
display:none;
}
</style>
Yu, and you can move the blogsearch input box to your side-bar by pasting the following code in the template.
<!– BlogSearch Google –>
<a href=”http://search.blogger.com/”><img src=”http://www.google.com/logos/Logo_25wht.gif” border=”0″ alt=”Google”></img></a><br/>
<form action=”http://search.blogger.com/” target=”_blank” />
<input type=”hidden” name=”ie” value=”UTF-8″ /></input>
<input type=”hidden” name=”ui” value=”blg” /></input>
<input type=”hidden” name=”bl_url” value=”YOU BLOG URL” /></input>
<input type=”text” maxLength=”255″ size=”15″ id=”b-query” name=”as_q” /></input><br />
<input type=submit value=”Search”></input></form>
<!– BlogSearch Google –>

Remove NavBar and Keep Blog Searching
Alternatively, just select Off in the Change the Blogger NavBar drop down – located on the template section of your blogger settings pages. Its a lot less faff! :)
I don’t have an option to turn off the navbar in templates, probably because I don’t upload via FTP.
I have tried some of the above tips and they aren’t working for me, I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong. When I try to adjust the margins, I get pieces of my template code between the navbar and my title jpg. The blog also looks worse in IE than Firefox.
This sounds very helpful.
Can I find some more details about it in Blogger Terms of Use?
all do not work in new blogger
