How to Hide or Remove Blogger Navbar

Ok I wanted to take the blogger navbar of my blog to try and neaten the whole blog up a bit, this is how you go about doing that :

1. Login to Blogger Beta In the Dashboard
2. Click on the Link Template
3. In the Template click on the Link Edit HTMLHere
4. I placed the code just above the line that says :

/* Variable definitions

Here is the code :

#navbar-iframe /* Indicating to the Navbar ID */
{
height: 0px; /* Reducing the height of the Navbar to 0px */
visibility: hidden; /* Reducing the visibility to hidden */
display: none; /* Remove the display option(indirectly hiding it */
}
Method 2:(source:Bloggeratto)
#navbar-iframe{opacity:0.0;filter:alpha(Opacity=0)}
#navbar-iframe:hover{opacity:1.0;filter:alpha(Opacity=100, FinishedOpacity=100)}

For those who are still using blogger version you can implement the method 1 by replacing #navbar-iframe with #b-navbar and the hack does work out well.

Now the most important question is, will Blogger allow this to happen ??

Well i have been looking in to Bloggers terms of service of whether we can actually hide or remove Blogger Toolbar. The answer to that would be an YES or NO. It could be argued in both the ways. Blogger specifically does not mention that you should not remove or hide the navbar but there is always the condition that if there is no option to change the content then it means that you should not modify the content. Anyway the topic is really arguable in both the sides and hope blogger updates its terms of service. Here is the terms of service of blogger

Personally i think it looks a lot neater.

UPDATE: Now why this makes it look a lot neater, you will want to put a quick link to the following page - http://www2.blogger.com/home so that you can quickly make a new post or edit yoru blog's settings.
