Removing Pencil And Screwdriver And Wrench Icons

I wanted to do this on a few blogs because sometimes you just need to see exactly what is going on with how your blog looks. I agree, that the screwdriver and wrench icons in blogger blogs are handy for on the spot editing of added gadgets but they do however interfere with the actual spaces between sidebar gadgets and what not. The only way you can view your blow how everyone would see it would be to preview it or to log out of blogger and then see your blog. What if you just never want to see the icon at all... well I read an article on Blogger Tips And Tricks that had the solution to removing the screwdriver and wrench icon.

Here is the link to the article:

You will also find a tutorial on removing the quick editing pencil icon. Though I never found a reason to not want it yet. I find it very useful. I guess it's always best to have options.

Displaying Codes In Blogger

I found myself in a situation where I had to display a piece of code on one of my post here. It was on my Navigation Bar post where I needed to display some code. No matter if you type it in html mode or compose mode, Blogger will detect code and not show it as-is in letter and character form. I did a search on Blogger Buster and found an article about how to display code properly in your blog posts! With the use of character entites described by Amanda in her post, we can find a workaround to this issue. Hopefully, one day, Blogger will have an option to compose codes and display them as-is on our posts. For the meantime, this is the way I found easiest to work with.
