Blogger trick – Remove navbar in Blogspot blog
In a blog hosted at blogger.com, you would always see a default navbar in the top of the blog page, and it has a search box, flag option etc.
There are a couple reasons why you would like to remove the navbar in your blogger blog -
1. The professionalism of the blog is not maintained. Really, the blog does not look good with the navbar.
2. Sometimes you do nothing wrong, but someone flags your blog through the option in navbar, so you are in risk.
So here is how to remove the navbar in blogger template -
Go to your blog settings > Layout > Edit HTML
Find this -
/* Variable definitions
====================
Above that, paste this -
#navbar-iframe { display: none !important; }
And save the setting. You are done and the navbar is gone! Pretty easy huh!

In case anyone is interested in whether or not hiding the blogger navbar is a violation of the Blogger TOS, it isn’t. See the following post with an explanation by a Blogger employee:
