BE A SUCCESSFUL BLOGGER

You may have seen the navigation bar in the blog. If you want to design your blog like a professional website, you may want to remove or hide your navigation bar. Here are the simple steps to do it.

First open the 'LAYOUT.' In that, third tab is 'EDIT HTML'. Click to open that. Now, you can see html codings of your blog template.

Search for the word, 'Page structure' in the codings. Somewhere under that just copy and paste the code I give below.

/* CSS to hid navigation bar */
#navbar
{
height:0px;
visibility:hidden;
display:none
}

Save the settings. Finished. Just see your blog. The navigation bar is gone.

CHANGING TEMPLATES

Now lets see how to change your template. Changing template is very easy. You have a set of templates in your blogger itself. Or you can download free templates available in the net and upload it.

Go to dashboard, and the select layout under the blog for which you want to change the template. Under layout, you see 5 tabs. In that 4th tab is PICK NEW TEMPLATE. Click that.

You get a new collection of templates than what you have seen when creating a blog. Select your desired template and click SAVE TEMPLATE button.

Now you got your new template.

Suppose if you want templates with flowers and other pictures, free templates are available on the net. Search for them and download them and save them. Then go to LAYOUT and click on the third tab, EDIT HTML. Then there is a BROWSE button and UPLOAD button. You can upload from your computer directly.

You should not change your templates often. Because, when you upload a template, then the old widgets like, 'FOLLOWERS, BLOG ARCHIEVE' may get deleted.

CHANGING FONTS AND COLOURS

Go to layout. Second tab under it is FONTS AND COLOUR. Click it. TEXT COLOUR, POST TITLE COLOUR, HEADER COLOUR, SIDEBAR FONTS, TITLE FONTS etc, etc are displayed in a scroll box. You should select what you want and change it into the desired font and colour. You can also change the background colour of your blog.

Once you change, the preview will appear below. You can scroll to see the changes taking effect. Now if you are satisfied with all the changes you have done, click SAVE CHANGES button. If you dont want the changes to take effect, click CLEAR EDITS button.

Thats all. Now I think you understood how to change templates and fonts and colours of your blog.
