How To Remove The Title Of A Widget In Blogger

Of all the blogging platforms to use, I really love Blogger.  Yes, a lot of people say that it is too cumbersome and very hard to customize, but if you are not afraid to dip your toes into the raw HTML, you can do some pretty awesome stuff.

One thing I hate about the blogger widgets is that you must specify a title for most of them.  For example, the Google+ badge widget.  Is it really necessary to have "Google+ Badge" written over the badge?  Ugh. 

So, after scouring the internet without much success to permanently have the title left blank on a widget, I came up with this little work around.

First, go to the "Templates" section on your blogger menu once you are signed in.  Click on the "Edit HTML" button.  Before you do anything, make sure you have a copy of your blog saved, just encase you mess up and need to go back to the original.  Ask me how I learned that.  Grrr.

  1. Look for the name of the widget title you want to remove.  In this case, it is "Google+ Badge."
  2. Delete the code:  title='Google+ Badge'
  3. Delete the code:<b:if cond='data:title != &quot;&quot;'>
              <h2 class='title'>
                <data:title/>
              </h2>
            </b:if>
  4. Click on Save Template.  Refresh your blog and see the title over your Google+ badge is gone!

Huhzahhh!  No more title over the widget in blogger.  :)
