How To Remove Powered By Blogger Attribution Widget

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> <div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Lora, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5625; margin-bottom: 25px; padding: 0px;">All blogger templates designed by Blogger’s Template Designer always have an attribution gadget at the footer that says <i><b>“Powered by Blogger</b></i>”. If you have ever tried to remove this gadget from your template, you will notice that it has been locked which implies that you can’t remove it. Today, I want to share the method I use to remove the attribution widget from one of my blog that has it.</div> <div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #333333; font-family: Lora, serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: center;"><img alt="How-To-Remove-Attribution-Widget-In-Blogger" border="0" height="388" scale="0" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-67BCEaMlj7U/T0Hwj0kNXfI/AAAAAAAABnk/1J5Ar7lApr4/s400/Remove%2Batrribution%2Bwidget.jpg" style="height: auto; max-width: 100%;" width="400" /></div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Lora, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5625; margin-bottom: 25px; padding: 0px;">I have never come across any user agreement that you can’t remove the attribution widget from your blog and I believe you won’t be penalized in any way for removing it. Follow my instructions below if you wish to remove blogger attribution widget.</div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Lora, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5625; margin-bottom: 25px; padding: 0px;">You will notice that on your template page, the widget cannot be removed because it does not have a remove option as shown below. But you can change the copyright content.</div> <div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #333333; font-family: Lora, serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: center;"><img alt="Remove-Powered-by-Blogger-In-Blogger" border="0" height="104" scale="0" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-QrmwToFO_-k/T0HpZSQCO1I/AAAAAAAABnU/cA9TfsTPm64/s400/blogger-attribution-widget.png" style="height: auto; max-width: 100%;" width="400" /></div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Lora, serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: center;"> <table border="1" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="2" style="background-color: #ff6600; height: 55px; width: 456px;"> <tbody> <tr align="center"> <td style="background-color: #33cc00;"><span style="color: yellow; font-style: italic;">“Important Notice:<br /> Always Back Up Your Templates before Making Any Changes On it”</span></td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </div> <h3 style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Oswald, arial, serif; font-size: 30px; font-weight: 400; line-height: 1.25; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px;">Steps To Remove Attribution Widget on Blogger Blogs.</h3> <div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Lora, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5625; margin-bottom: 25px; padding: 0px;">1) Go to <b style="color: lime;">Blogger Dashboard</b> => <b style="color: lime;">Template</b> tab => <b style="color: lime;">Edit HTML</b> tab (New Blogger Interface) or Go to <b style="color: lime;">Blogger Dashboard</b> => <b style="color: lime;">Design</b> tab => <b style="color: lime;">Edit HTML</b> tab (Old Blogger Interface) and click on<b style="color: red;"><input checked="checked" disabled="disabled" style="color: #333333; font-family: Lora, serif; font-size: 14px; vertical-align: middle;" type="checkbox" /> <span style="color: lime;">Expand Template Widgets</span></b> check box</div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Lora, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5625; margin-bottom: 25px; padding: 0px;">2) Search for the code below in your template.
