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 or reload the browser (IE, Firefox, others)
8. Try a different computer, or see if you can duplicate the problem or avoid it in a post in another blog (make a test blog, whether in the same account or a second account, that's not public so nobody will see you screwing around!)

---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.

Blogger has finally admitted that IT IS PERMISSIBLE to get rid of the Navbar--see nitecruzr's post about Navbar.



END.

Hey! Just wanna say thanks for the code to hide the navbar! It worked great!

Ron Southern said...

Glad to hear it.

Your comment about the "next blog" feature is right on target.

The navbar would be great if "next blog" was optional.

The following also works.

#navbar #Navbar1 iframe{
display:none;
visibility:none;
}

Thanks for the code! I was now able to do a blog for my daughter's dance group without fearing "next blog" unknowns.

Hello! We are: said...

Anyone...I am trying to hide the navbar to block the "next-blog" access with no luck...I have the script code on top of the nav bar but it is still there? Can any one help...some very gross blogs come up!

Thank you for the code. I work with jr. high students and this saved me. Keep up the good work!

Combaton Forum said...

MFBQ I am a real newbie and need help. I just withdrew 40 invitations to post due to nightmares with blocking "next blog." I need step by step directions to block it. I don't understand the stuff about codes. I am using the newest version on Blogspot.com

Ron Southern said...

Email me about it.

Pamela Mason said...

Man, THANKS so much for this information! I am a teacher and did a quick search on how to fix this problem. Your info came right up and your directions are extremely easy to follow. Thanks a million for sharing your skills and saving my career. Still can't believe the porn came up on my site so fast.

Mr. Mike said...

Ron,

Thanks for your help. You are a lifesaver.

WildAbe.com said...

Great. Worked seamlessly. I'm glad all the information in the world is at my finger tips! Thanks again.

Phil said...

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.

Thank you very much! Very helpful! I never liked that bar. You are right. Blooger can not force us to have that navigation bar. I am sick and tired of these blooger porn pages that come up whenever you press next. Woh! anyway. take care.!

Post your comments.... said...

Oh my gosh!
Your suggestion on how to remove the header worked great!
Thanks so Much!

Bloteigas said...

It works!
Thanks. Finally i get rid of navbar.
Great code and keep the good work.
We need you around.

Lou Mang said...

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

Lou Mang said...

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

Ron Southern said...

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!

VideosClicks said...

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!

Ron Southern said...

Everybody passes out this info, but it's good to hear from a satisfied person!

Andy said...

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

Ron Southern said...

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!

Thank you!

Tom Thomas said...

Yay!!! That "next blog" thing really had me fried. I do not want to point people to other random blogs that I don't control. No way, no how! I wish the normally on top of it Google developers just put a checkmark in the navbar prefs to show/hide next blog.

Thanks for the tip, simple fix.
