Have you noticed the search box above? It is not part of Google search box. Rather, it is actually an integral part of the Blogger/Blogspot template. Typing a keyword search inside the dialog box will return search results of contents found within this blogsite. <form id="searchthis" action="http://homartemplatepractice.blogspot.com/search" style="display: inline;" method="get">
If you have hidden the navigation bar of your template, it is ideal to include a search box such as found above to help your readers find specific contents within your blogsite. The illustration below shows the location of the default Blogger/Blogspot search box.
To include a Blogger/Blogspot search box in your blogsite, you must first open the Page Elements tab of your template as shown below.
Then add the codes found below to any available location you prefer. However, you first have to change the red-higlighted codes in the shown example to match the specifications of your blogsite. Otherwise, any keyword search on your blogsite would return results found in this site.

Template Downloads
HOME||CONTENTSAlthough Blogger/Blogspot is very easy to use and it has great flexibility compared to other blog hosting services, it has some disadvantages. One disadvantage of Blogger/Blogspot is its lack of readily available three-column templates and other more professionally-looking templates such as found in Wordpress, for instance. However, this blog host offers lots of freedom, especially for would-be web designers.
Although you might be very creative, it requires some technical skills when it comes to designing Blogger/Blogspot templates. You have to be knowledgeable about HTML and CSS to implement your ideas. On the other hand, if you are the type of person who is too busy and do not have much patience to design your own templates, you may simply download from other sources. There are many blogsites and web sites that offer free templates.
I have listed here some links where you can find free templates for Blogger/Blogspot. However, when it comes to downloading templates, it is not as straightforward as copy-pasting the codes. You must first download the file and save it to your hard desk, then upload it to the template editor of your blogsite.
There are instances wherein the template editor will not parse or you will be asked to delete some widgets. This is especially true if you have too many widgets in your original blog template. Typically, you must simply confirm and save. However, there are instances wherein you may need to manually delete the widgets. Hence, it is wise to first save the original template before trying to replace it with a new one. This should be done to preserve the widgets of your original template.
Here are some of the best links that offer free Blogger/Blogspot templates:

Hiding the Navigation Bar
HOME||CONTENTS
To hide the navigation bar, first find the "credits section" on the template of your blogsite. The credits section contains the name of the template designer. This section resembles the sample below. For the sake of illustration, I have used the credits section of this blogsite's template.

----------------------------------------------- */
The aforementioned section is located on the upper part of your blogsite template. Hence, it is very easyto find. Immediately under it, add this CSS code:
#navbar-iframe {
display: none !important;
}
Now you are done. It is as simple as that. Save your template and view your blog. If you want to restore the navigation bar, simply remove the aforementioned CSS code.

Scrollbars Inside Blog Posts
HOME||CONTENTSIf you intend to include very long text contents in your blog posts but you want to save space, you may use the scrolling text or scroll bar definitions in your style sheets. For instance, I have posted here the template of this blogsite. However, since the template has very long text contents, I opted to use the scrolling text style. I have used the codes below for the CSS scroll bar definitions within my blog posts. You may directly copy-paste the codes in the style sheet of your blog template or you may modify them first, depending on your preferences. The size (width and height), background color, and border definitions can all be modified. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"

Scrollbars are ideal for long text contents such as the template codes of this blog site. To include selected texts inside the scrollbars, you must enclose the texts within these codes: <div class="scrollingtext">TEXT</div>. By the way, these codes should only be used within the text editor of the blog post and not on the template editor, as illustrated below.
