- Blogger icon - It directs you to Blogger.com
- Search bar - It's a normal search feature to find content on current blog.
- g+1 - Clicking on this icon let's you share the post publicly.
- More option - It allows you to share the content via Email, Facebook, and Twitter. It has one more option called report abuse which tells you to do so if the content on a blog seems to be inappropriate.
- Next blog - As the name implies, you can click on it to surf other blogs randomly.
- New post - It calls you to create a new post for your blog. If you are on other blog, this link will get blotted out.
- Design/dashboard - When you click on it, it takes you to edit your template. If you are on some one's blog, it will show as dashboard which drives you to your blogger splash board.
- Sign in/out - As you should know that it asks you to sign in to your Google account.
Though blogger navbar has so many plus points, but I won't say that it doesn't have a single disadvantage. I will tell you on why I hate navbar to be enabled on my blog and I'm sure I will never use it anymore.
- Navbar looks clumsy and fumbling.
- Even though different colors are available for navbar to choose but It doesn't fit for my blog's theme.
- It increases visitor's bounce rate if they tend to click Next blog link.
