Hiding the space where the navBar used to be

This article shows how to remove the space that is left when Blogger's top-of-screen navigation bar display is turned off.

 

Removing the navBar is single of the long-standing tweaks so as to blogger users allow been making endlessly since blueprint templates were introduced.
It caused a small piece of heartache in the before time days, as nearby were suggestions so as to perhaps burden so violated Blogger's Terms-and-conditions.

And the navBar is still the home-based of a little tools so as to frequent act think are effective, counting the shot abuse link.

But it looks like Blogger themselves allow to conclude matured the arguments.  They've count an option to inedible favor the nav-bar to the from the Layout > Navbar - edit tab.

1.     Choose the Off option
2.     Click Save.
3.     Click Save deal (top right)

(Granted they did hid the option by the side of the very substructure of the register, and as far as I know they didn't cite it on one of the new-fangled skin texture announcements.   But it is nearby, so it duty be ok to service.)

Note: If you allow already functional the creative remove-the-navBar pinch, afterward your option button will be whatever it was beforehand, even though your navBar isn't viewing.

What your readers will see

If the navBar is bowed inedible, afterward your blog will be drawn on the screen in the usual way, except for so as to the deep space anywhere the navBar was will be to the top with a solid line in your background colour.

At smallest amount a little of your readers (eg ones who service a netbook or other less important screen quite often) will regard this as a litter of valuable screen deep space.

How to remove the gap where the navbar used to be

You can move the heading up to cover greater than the area anywhere the nav-bar was by count a CSS regulation to your stencil in the typical way.

The regulation to add is:

    #navbar { height: 0px; visibility: Hidden; show: Nothing;}

Apply so as to, and the deep space so as to the nav-bar was in will simply close up, so the put your feet up of the content is a little closer to the top of the screen.

Is it a good idea to get rid of the navBar?

    "Just as you can, doesn't mean you should"

I explained could you repeat that? Skin texture the navBar offers in my first article almost how to remove it.  I still think so as to there's nix hard-and-fast regulation almost whether to keep it. It seems to me so as to the navBar is:

    Particularly effective to readers who service blogger themselves
    Practical in support of individuals readers who allow Google accounts themselves, and understand the settlement of being logged in while browsing
    Confusing and irritating in support of the put your feet up of your readers
    A Very Bad Thing(tm!) if you're difficult to conceal the detail so as to your website is built using Blogger.
