As we told, Blogger blogs are entirely customize-able and you can change your blog design by yourself if you have the essential knowledge of web designing. In blogger we always see a static template that usually has a header, a navigation bar, a sidebar, post body and a footer. And whenever, we visit any page of our blogger blog we see all the elements all the time. Whether you visit a tab page or a single post you'll see sidebar and footer etc altogether. Today I would like to share a trick with you guys about creating a full-width page in blogger without sidebars etc. We can change our static blog to a dynamic one by using this trick. We'll use few CSS properties to hide our sidebar and create a full page. CSS3 is a magic, and nothing is impossible now!

How to Create a Page Having no sidebar?

In order to add a page that don't have a sidebar; You'll use few codes of CSS. It shouldn't take you more than five minutes to finish the task. Now follow the steps below:

• Log-in to Blogger
• Create a New Page or Post
• While editing the page click the HTML Editor tab (Appears at top left)
• At the beginning of the page insert following CSS code

<style>

#sidebar-wrapper, #midsidebar-wrapper, .gapad2, .blog-pager, .post-header-line-1, .post-footer { display:none !important;}

#main-wrapper { width:100%!important;}

.post { width:100%!important; }

</style>

Now switch back to compose editor and edit your post/page as the way you want. When you insert all the content in that page; simply publish that. After publishing view that page on the browser, there won't be sidebar and page will be with its full width.

Note: You can also apply this trick on your existing pages or posts. Just edit those pages/posts and click the HTML tab and at the beginning of the page insert the above CSS code.

You can change the Width:100% to any value you want. If you want the page smaller then reduce the 100% to your own width.
