How to remove the quick edit and wrench icons on blogger

so to hide the quick edit icon below the post footer go to layout > page elements and click the edit link for the post widget from within your dashboard and uncheck the checkbox titled "Show Quick Editing" then save now those icons shouldn't show below the post

but they are still showing in the sidebar to remove them go to layout > edit HTML and expand the widget templates and look for the following code

<b:include name='quickedit'/>

each widget you have in the sidebar will have one of them so to save time having to remove each one of them just paste the following code anywhere inbetween the opening <b:skin> tag and the closing </b:skin> tag in your template to hide them

.quickedit{display:none;}

now you can get rid of those icons if you dont want them showing i hope you find this useful and thanks for reading
