It is part of a series about removing the attribution gadget from blogs which have designer templates.
WARNING:
I have not checked the Blogger Terms and Conditions to find out whether you are allowed to remove the Attribution. Even if they don't mention it today, a requirement to keep the statement could be added tomorrow. This advice does not mean that I, or Google/Blogger, are saying that you should/can/may/must remove the attribution statement.
Previously I have described what the attribution gadget is, and the concerns that a number of people have with it.
It's been a bit of a cat-and-mouse game with Blogger since I put up my first post on the subject: I think up a new way to take the the attribution gadget out of my blog, they put in some code to put back in again the next time I edit the template.
However, as at right now:
How to remove the attribution by hiding it:
One way of removing "powered by Blogger" from your blog is to hide it. To do so, simply add this rule to your template:#Attribution1 {display: none;}
(See Adding a new formatting rule to your blog for more information about doing this.)
Note: Hiding elements on your blog can have downsides, if the search-engines think that you are trying to deceive them. Use this technique at your own risk.
Mobile template blogs:
The approach above only works on your non-mobile template. If you have enabled a custom mobile template, you can either use the standard way of removing your attribution from your mobile blog, or by adding a 2nd rule:.mobile #Attribution1 {display: none;}
Give credit, too:
And as always - I do recommending adding an alternative attribution gadget, which gives credit where it's due.
Troubleshooting:
If this rule doesn't work and you have tried several other approaches on the same template, your gadget may now be called Attribution2 or even Attribution3. Look at your template (Design > Edit HTML) and search for "attribution" to find out what the correct digit is, and modify the rule to use it.
