Hi…my name is James…and I have used Blogger…

Hi James

This is my Blogger story…

I made a blog with Blogger.  It is sponsored by Google. It is very easy to start, but…

it has one flaw. Photo by Rakka from Flickr

It has a navigation bar at the top of the blog. It seems very innocent.   It has a simple link that says Next Blog». I clicked the link. It took me to another blog. I clicked it again. It took me to another blog. I clicked it three more times. It took me to a porn blog. That was when I decided that I would not use it in my school or recommend it to other teachers.

I have been looking for a solution for a long time. I found Blogger’s salvation. It is the code that hides the navigation bar. I found it on the web site for an eMINTS teacher. (I don’t remember who.) That let me this blogspot actually gave me the code to hide/unhide the nav bar. That was fancier than I wanted. I just wanted to get rid of it, so this blogspot worked better. Edit the HTML on the layout part of the dashboard and paste in this code after the template section:

#navbar-iframe {display: none !important;}

I once again feel safe in recommending Blogger to fellow teachers as a starting blog. I don’t have to worry about the navigation bar. Thanks for the code!
