How to Add an Admin Control Panel in Blogger 11 comments A while ago I've posted some tutorials on how you can remove the Blogger Navbaror add a Peek A Boo Effectso that it would show only when we mouse over on top of our page. However, customizing or removing the Blogger Navbar also has its downside because the admin links for "New post", "Customize" and "Log Out" will be no longer visible and navigating through the blog functions could be really frustrating sometimes. When the navbar is visible, blog administrators can easily create a new post or customize their template with just one click; however, when the navbar is hidden, many more clicks are required to access the Blogger dashboard panel again. So in this tutorial, we'll see how to add an "Admin Control Panel" menu with many cool additions such as: - access to the Blogger's Homepage - create a New Page or Post - view all your posts - read your comments - access the Blog's layout to add or rearrange gadgets - edit the HTML of your Template - refresh current page or post - open a new tab with your blog's homepage - access the blog' settings - view your stats - ...and finally, log out We will put all these options on the top of your page as a menu and we will make it visible only to the administrator of the blog, so our blog visitors will not be able to see it. The result will be something like this: Getting the Blog IDThe first thing we need to do is get the ID of our blog by clicking on any option from our Blog Dashboard, for exampleSettings. Once we have clicked there, take a look at the address bar in your browser: Within the URL you will notice a string like this: blogID=XXXXXXXXXWhere XXXXXXXXX is the unique identifier (ID) for your blog. Copy the ID for the blog you wish to work with so we can add this in the links for your admin control panel. Adding the admin control panel to Blogger template The Admin Control Panel will only be visible when the blog author is logged in. It is invisible to blog readers, similar to the Edit post/widget pencil icons which are only visible to you while you are logged in.

Click anywhere inside the code area and press the CTRL + F keys to open the Blogger' search box Step 3.Paste this line inside the search box then hit Enter to find it: Note: if you can't find this line, try to find thetag.

ChangeXXXXXXXXXXXXXwith your unique Blog ID previously copied, and be careful not to delete anything, like quote or any other character. Step 4.Click on theSave templatebutton to save the changes. Now take a look at your blog. While you are logged in to Blogger, you should notice your control panel appear on top of your blog. Enjoy!
