Well i have been looking in to Bloggers terms of service of whether we can actually hide or remove Blogger Toolbar. The answer to that would be an YES or NO. It could be argued in both the ways. Blogger specifically does not mention that you should not remove or hide the navbar but there is always the condition that if there is no option to change the content then it means that you should not modify the content. Anyway the topic is really arguable in both the sides and hope blogger updates its terms of service. Here is the terms of service of blogger

Coming to the point of Hiding Blogger Navbar in Blogger Beta. As Blogger got updated to Blogger Beta there had to be a solution to hide the Blogger Navbar as the hack for the Blogger version doesn't hold good for the Beta Version. There are two methods that one can use to hide the Navabar:
To start off you need to:

Login to Blogger Beta In the Dashboard
Click on the Link Template
In the Template click on the Link Edit HTMLHere
you can see the blogger template code and now look for
place the below code in betweens the above style sheets and you are ready to go

Method1: (for Blogger Beta)

Using CSS style of hiding the Navbar. We write a simple piece of code
#navbar-iframe /* Indicating to the Navbar ID */
{
height: 0px; /* Reducing the height of the Navbar to 0px */
visibility: hidden; /* Reducing the visibility to hidden */
display: none; /* Remove the display option(indirectly hiding it */
}
Method 2:(source:Bloggeratto)
#navbar-iframe{opacity:0.0;filter:alpha(Opacity=0)}

#navbar-iframe:hover{opacity:1.0;filter:alpha(Opacity=100, FinishedOpacity=100)}

For those who are still using blogger version you can implement the method 1 by replacing #navbar-iframe with #b-navbar and the hack does work out well

Users let me know your comments if the technique works for you
