Most of us choose blogger as our blogging platform. The most common problem which every newbie face is the lack of templates (themes) provided by blogger that's why they look for custom templates designed by other artists.

These artists make their themes stylish & more user friendly. Many of them come with a Featured Article Slider which shows popular post of blogs. Look at our template, you will also see a Slider. Sometimes we don't want these sliders in our templates so we want to remove them from blogger template.

As many new bloggers does not know HTML so they find it difficult to remove. Today I will show you how you can remove these sliders from your blogger template.
