  1. [B] Icon -> Takes you to Blogger.com
  2. Search Blog -> Search within the currently displayed blog
  3. Flag Blog -> Used to mark objectionable contents on blog
  4. Share -> Allows you to share your blog contents to social networking sites
  5. Next Blog -> Takes you to a random and recently-updated Blogger blog
  6. [email address] -> Displays your email address in case you are logged-in
  7. Dashboard -> A link to your Dashboard if you are logged-in.
  8. Sign in/out -> Used to sign in/out from your Blogger account.

Sometimes you want to get rid of this navigation bar. Here in this post I will explain how you can remove/hide this Navbar. Following are the steps –

  1. From Dashboard, go to Layout –> Edit HTML
  2. Select Expand Widget Template checkbox
  3. Search for “]]></b:skin>”
  4. Copy and paste the following line just before “]]></b:skin>”
