Ok, I am in the 0.0009% of the population of the entire universe and beyond that actually finds the Blogger NavBar useful enough to be reliantly peeved to have it gone on my blog, and installing this sexy template did just that. I installed the theme and bang..it was gone!

Anyway, I googled a bit to try and find the code to throw in my theme for the NavBar to appear again, but all I got from Google was n00bs asking questions on how to remove it.

Eventually I gave up and decided to look through the code of the theme I was using at the time, and I found something about the NavBar, now I’m not at all good at web coding and such, but I managed to get it back…for those of you who will flame me because of it taking this long for me to work out something so simple - quoting my first post…GTFO!
Anyway…Here’s how I did it…

1. Firstly, Go to your Blogger control panel, and click Edit HTML in the Layouts section.

2. Just in case, Tick ‘Expand Widget Templates’.

3. Press Ctrl+F to open the ‘find’ box.

4. Now THIS is where some searching is required, somewhere in your Blogger template code, there is a section called ‘nav’, ‘navbar’ or something like that, it should be easy to find it using the handy find box. If you find multiple blocks for some weird reason - the code you find should look something like this…

<style type=”text/css”>
#b-navbar {
height:0px;
visibility:hidden;
display:none
}
</style>

5. You’ll need to comment this block of code out, if you do not know how to do this:

Add ‘/*’ where that code starts and ‘*/’ where that code ends. After you are done, your code will look something like it:

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

Press ‘Preview’ and see if you get your beloved NavBar back, if not - follow the instructions again.
If it still doesn’t work, contact me.
If, by some twist of fate it DID work, congratulations! you how have your Blogger NavBar back
