Here's a snapshot of a Blogger blog and the navigation bar (navbar) is at the top shown by the green arrow.

So, how do you get rid of it if you don't want it hanging on top of your blog? If you want to turn it on instead of off, read the section at the end of the post.

To Turn Off the Blogger Navigation Bar
Just copy the Navbar1 code below and paste it anywhere inside your blog XML file as a CSS code after the /* Variable definitions section. If you're not sure what this means, follow these steps:

follow these steps:

#Navbar1 {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
display: none;
visibility: hidden;
}

1. Login to your blog and click the Edit HTML tab inside the Template tab.
2. Inside the file, locate the section body { ..... } and paste the Navbar1 code below this section, after the closing bracket.
3. Click 'SAVE TEMPLATE'.
4. That's it. You're done.

************************

It's easy to get rid of it. But know that the Navbar serves some purposes. The most valuable purpose for you is that it helps other Bloggers stumble upon your blog when they click the NEXT button on the Navbar searching for other blogs randomly. Not to mention that it's easy go to the login page if you have the Navbar on; otherwise, you have to open up the Blogger login page to login.

So, you decide which is the best for you. To have it on or off?

Update: How to turn on the Blogger navigation bar?
If you're using my templates, most of them don't have the Blogger navigation bar. But, if, you'd like to turn it on, simply look for the following code and delete the code in red.

#Navbar1 {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
display: none;
visibility: hidden;
}

Possible Problems You May Encounter:

1. The Meta Tag Analyzer is a combination spider and syntax checker. If you are getting results which declare your page not to contain any Tags, and you know it does, please double check your syntax. Also make absolutely sure you are using the correct URL by clicking on it.
2. With some servers our robot is unable to make a connection. This usually indicates your server is down, very slow or disallowing our robot access. If you receive an error indicating we can't connect, we apologize for this, but there is little we can do about it. We suggest you try again when your server isn't so busy and make sure your server is on-line and functioning properly.
3. In some cases our program can't find your Tags. This is usually a syntax error. ALL Title and Meta Tags MUST be located between the opening Tag and the closing Tag.
4. 99.99% of all problems reported have been because of HTML syntax errors so PLEASE DOUBLE CHECK YOUR SYNTAX BEFORE TELLING US THERE IS A PROBLEM.

Our FREE on-line Meta Tag Analyzer is the first of its kind on the Net. That's not too surprising for some of you who have been following us over the years. There are now other analyzers on the Net since we first released the Meta Tag Analyzer that try to do what we have been doing for years, but we think you'll find our Meta Tag Analyzer does it better and much more accurate.


As some of you know, we have been developing robot crawlers since 1996 so we have a pretty good idea how this technology works. We thought we would help our visitors with our knowledge and release this on-line version of our robot Scrubby to help you design a more robot friendly Web page.

Fact: All major search engines including Google, Yahoo!, Scrub The Web, MSN Live and others utilize Meta Tags!

Don't let anyone tell you search engines (specifically Open Window IconGoogle™ or Open Window IconYahoo!®) do not use Meta Tags. If you're visiting SEO sites that claim Meta Tags including the Meta Description are not used by these major search engines, then that SEO site should be removed from your bookmarks. Don't take our word for it, visit Open Window IconGoogle™ or Open Window IconYahoo!® and see what they have to say about it or click on the "Contact Us" link in the left menu and we'll be more than happy to prove it!

Fact: No major search engine requires Meta Tags. However, when properly constructed, Meta Tags can boost your click-throughs from search engines. Because of this it is highly recommended you provide these search engines with "search engine friendly" Meta Tags. This tool will attempt to verify your Web page is at least "search engine friendly".
