How to Remove and Hide Blogger NavBar (Top Navigation Bar)

When browsing Blogger powered weblogs hosted on blogspot.com domain or custom domain, there is always a NavBar (Navigation Bar or Banner) that appears on top of the blog. The Blogger NavBar contains Search Blog textbox, Flag Blog to notify Blogger about objectionable contents on the blog, Next Blog link to visit another blog randomly, plus links to create a blog or sign in to Blogger.

No many visitors nor bloggers themselves may find it useful though. It’s possible to hide and remove the NavBar with a little CSS hack. The trick will not interfere or mess up with the custom layouts that webmaster has designed, and pretty safe and easy to implement. In fact, if you’re publishing the Blogger blog to own custom domain with FTP or SFTP, it’s possible to turn off NavBar.
Turn Off and Disable NavBar in Blog Published by FTP or SFTP
  1. Login to Blogger.

Facebook Expands @ Mention Tagging to Comments

Facebook users can now tag their friends, Pages, Groups, and Events in comments to news feed stories and wall posts to create linked mentions. This will help users carry on conversations with other commenters and allow them to easily reference different entities on Facebook.

In September 2009, users gained the ability to mention friends and other Facebook pages in their status updates and wall posts by typing an “@” symbol followed by the first letters of a name and then selecting from a drop-down menu.
Later Facebook began showing tag suggestions whenever a user capitalized a letter in an update or post, but later removed the feature since it interrupted users who weren’t actually trying to tag anything.
Now users can type an “@” symbol to initiate the tag drop-down menu in comments. Until this release, some users had taken to manually typing @[first name] without it properly linking in order to create unofficial mentions in comments.
When a user is tagged, they’ll receive an notification stating that a friend “mentioned you in a comment.”

The new comment mentions also create new opportunity for Pages. Admins can “Use Facebook as Page”

Downpour Is a BitTorrent Client Made for Media Centers

Mac/Linux: Most BitTorrent clients work just fine at grabbing and managing your downloads. Downpour is a highly customizable installation that works hand-in-hand with your chosen media center, automatically importing media and supporting your filing and renaming preferences.
It's not a click-and-go app, as the easiest installation requires having a Python implementation set up. But tinker with Downpour enough, and its specialist features will reward your investment. RSS monitoring, automatic unpacking and renaming schemes, a built-in media browser, and a clean, remote-access friendly interface, to start with. The planned features look pretty nice, too.
Downpour is a free download for any system that has Python and a command line up and running; that can include Windows through Cygwin, if you want the hassle. Hit the link to get installation instructions.

Currently a Windows only app, Digsby's developers promise that Mac and Linux versions are in the oven—and that they're constantly squashing bugs from the still-young Windows version.
