EMERGENCY STEPS

Kick-starting The Blog
1. Refresh (F5) or Ctrl-F5
2. Clear cache (delete temporary Internet files) and cookies in Tools-Internet Options.
3. Add a question mark to the end of your blog's internet address in the address box and see if it will show the latest update. (Can also be done with other people's url's in the address window.)
4. Republish (if in classic Blogger)
5. Reboot
6. Log out and log back in again (may change to an untroubled server)
7. Change browser (IE, Firefox, others)

---Not necessary to do all of these at once!---

Blogger may make problems for some computers about accepting cookies, especially when you are using the new versions of Internet Explorer or Firefox browsers. Difficulties with accepting scripts may be caused by security systems, antivirus programs, firewalls, and some add-ons. Check all your settings.

You may need to change your browser settings, or to list www.blogger.com and blogger.com as "trusted sites" in your Internet Options-Security so that scripting can occur.

Hide Navbar?

FOR CLASSIC (OLD) BLOGGER
How to hide the Blogger Navbar at the top and why not to:

Hide Navbar!

http://blogger-tricks.blogspot.com/2006/04/tip-hiding-navbar.html


OR FOR NEW BLOGGER
The css is defined between

<b:skin><![CDATA[/*

and

]]></b:skin>
</head>

So put the following 5 lines of code in the css:

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

before:

]]></b:skin>

Despite references above or arguments against it, I no longer recommend caution about hiding the Navbar because Blogger has no right to inflict the violence or pornography that Next Blog sometimes inflicts on users. They should make that aspect of the Navbar optional for us so that schools, churches, and old ladies of every kind can choose not to play if they don't want to.

  12. I found the adult content today. It is not a small problem. It seemed half the time 'next blog' took me to a site with adult content. I'm not
    easily offended, but I don't want links to adult content on sites that I create. It seems that the Blogger TOS of service are quite clear concerning adult content. I'll remove
    the navbar and hope that Blogger understands. Thanks for the help.

  16. Ok this works great however how do I customize my site without the navbar showing? The Customize link is in the navbar.

    ReplyDelete
  17. How can you customize your site w/o the navbar? Customize is in the navbar.

  18. Well, that's the problem, isn't it? It's the donkey and the "carrot". If you don't want the smelly donkey, you can't get the carrot! I dismissed worrying about this some time ago, but maybe I should research it a little more. I'm not that deep a coder or hacker, but I know a few who are and who might have investigated this more than I did. Don't hold your breath!

  19. Hey, what a good life saver! No doubt about it, your comprehensive information on how to hide the navbar is fully appreciated! It really does feel real good once the input of codes works well on the first try. Surely, it allows me to focus on sharing more useful videos on my own blog.
    Keep up the awesome work, man!

  21. Thanks So Much, I really appreciate the help. Now next blog stuff won't give my visitor my blog http://ngcareers.com unrelated contents

  22. I'm not sure what your last remark referred to, but it's a common misunderstanding among new bloggers to think that private info (like your email) and quick-edit icons are viewable by everyone when they are only visible to the blog owner (when he is logged in). Glad you got some good out of this old post, though!
