Hide Blogger Navbar in New Blogger Blogspot

Sunday, September 5, 2010

 
Want to get rid of the blogger toolbar in new blogger that just came out of beta ? 


If you have shifted your blogspot blog from old blogger to the new blogger beta, you may have noticed that the previous CSS code to remove the blogger navbar will no longer be effective. That's because Google now uses different CSS tags to display the blogger bar. [#navbar-iframe instead of #b-navbar]

If you want to hide the nav-bar in your blogger blog, here's what you should do (these instructions refer to the "new" Blogger layouts templates):

• Go to Template>Edit HTML in your Blogger dashboard and first back-up your template to ensure you can restore it if you make unwanted mistakes!
• Next, find this line in the template: </b:skin>
• Just before this line, insert the following lines of code:

#navbar-iframe {
height:0px;
visibility:hidden;
display:none
}

You can preview your template to see the effect in action, and then save your template to save the changes for good. (Thanks to Testing Blogger Beta for this hack!).

How do I Commenting on Blogger with OpenID ?

OpenID Commenting on my Blogger BlogSpot

OpenID is an open standard that allows users of OpenID-enabled services to log in to any OpenID-supported site with one set of login credentials. What does that mean for your blog? It's a way to authenticate user comments on your blog, without requiring your readers to have a Google Account.

For example, let's say you have a friend, Brady from LiveJournal, who doesn't have a Google Account. With OpenID, he can now comment on your blog using his OpenID credentials and identify himself as the owner of http://brady.livejournal.com, instead of commenting anonymously. Please see the OpenID site for more information about OpenID.

How do I Enable OpenID Commenting on my Blog?

Simply go to your Settings | Comments tab and select "Registered Users" or "Anyone" for the "Who Can Comment" option. Don't forget to click "Save Settings" on the bottom of the page.

Note that allowing "Anyone" to comment on your blog will allow more than just OpenID users to comment.

How do I comment Using my OpenID identity?

Start off by going to the comment page of the post where you'd like to comment. Then, select your OpenID provider from the drop down menu next to the "Sign-in using" option. If your OpenID provider is not on the list, please choose the "Any ID" option.

Next, provide your OpenID login information. After you click "Publish Your Comment," you will be redirected to your OpenID provider to authenticate your ID. After authenticating with the provider, you will return to the comments page and your comment will automatically be posted. Your comment will appear appear with a OpenID icon to the left of the comment.
Note that your display name is the name sent to us by the OpenID provider. If no display name is given, we will try to derive it from your OpenID URL. This is the name that will be displayed as the author of the comment and will be linked to your OpenID URL.
