As someone who loves designing Blogger blogs and playing with new ideas, I’ve discovered a lot of default settings in Blogger templates that just don’t serve much of a purpose, and they’re the first things I remove when starting a design from scratch. They’re all extremely easy to get rid of, and if removing these features is something you want to do, this whole list of tutorials will take you just a few minutes!

Removing The Wrench Icon

To remove the wrench icon, simply go to Template > Customize > Advanced > Add CSS and paste the following code in the box:

.quickedit {
display:none;
}

Removing The Quick Edit Pencil

To hide the pencil icon, go to Layout > Blog Posts > Edit and uncheck the “Show Quick Editing” box. This widget has a lot of features that are removable, so you can get rid of anything else you don’t need!

Removing The Blogger Navigation Bar

To remove the default navigation bar on Blogger (the one with the Blogger logo and a search box), go to Layout > Navbar > Edit and select “Off”. Simple as that!

Remove Subscribe To Posts (atom)

This one will require a bit more digging. Go to Template > Edit HTML and using your keyboard’s search function (CTRL+F or CMD+F), search for the following line of code:

<b:include data='feedLinks' name='feedLinksBody'/>

Remove that line and save your template. If you’re worried about editing code, be sure to back up your template before doing this just in case!

Remove the Powered By Blogger Attribution

Go to Template > Customize > Advanced > Add CSS and paste the following code in the box:

#Attribution1 {
display: none;
}

That’s it! If there’s anything else you’d like to know about editing your Blogger design, let me know in the comments!
