The NavBar at the top of Blogger is a useful tool for your site. The Navbar can help increase your traffic through the random blog link, allow searches of the content of your site, and allow quick and easy editing directly off the front page of your site. But with the advantages the NavBar also has a major disadvantage: The Flag Button.
The Flag Button is simply a way that readers can easily contact Blogger if your site is either a Spam Blog or contains Objectionable Content. Unfortunately many individuals without familiarity with blogger may accidentally flag your blog without understanding the consequences.
So what are the consequences? Simple: If too many flags are thrown up then your blog will be suspended pending a review. As a result, in past years many political blogs were shut down when individuals with opposing views ran blogger searches and flagged any blogs they disagreed with.
Does Blogger Allow You To Remove The NavBar? Yes, although they discourage it, Google has unofficially stated that it is not in violation of your TOS to remove it. However, Blogger has the right to amend their TOS at any time, they make the rules therefore they can change them.
How Do I Remove It?
Their are dozens of different codes that can be used and inserted into your html that will work. The simplest I have found is to:
- Click On The Layout Button
- Click On The Edit HTML Button
- Insert The Following Code:
Where?
<!--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>
Go 6 to 8 lines down in your html and insert between the "head" line and "b:include data='blog' ..." line.
WARNING: I strongly urge everyone to back-up their html before making any changes to the code. Once you have inserted the code, DO NOT SAVE, instead preview the blog to make sure that the Navbar is gone. The above code may not work on all templates.
