Blogger uses Page Elements to enable users to add modules containing code, multimedia etc., to their blog. You can move these page elements on Layout---->Page Elements subtab to customize the look of your blog. You can also hide a Page Element if you want to instead of removing it completely.
Page Elements are executed on the web page of your blog by code snippets called widgets. Login at Blogger.com and click on Layouts link on Dashboard. Here you can see the Page Elements in a GUI (graphical User Interface). You can move, add or delete them here without getting your hands dirty messing with the widgets code.
For the slightly more adventurous click the Edit Html subtab of Layout tab. The Template Code box can be seen on this page. First backup the template by clicking the Download Full Template link at the top of the page. Scroll down in the Template Code box and look for the widgets code after the <body> tag :
<b:widget id='HTML2' locked='false' title='' type='HTML'/>
Above is the widget code for a Page Element of the type Html/Javascript. Note the widget type changes according to the type of the widget. If it is a Profile widget it will say 'Profile' in the code line. If it is a Text widget it will say 'Text'. The number depends on how many widgets of he same type you have in that blog.
To hide the widget take the widget id and put it in code like this :
#HTML2 {
display:none;
}
Then paste the code immediately above the ]]></b:skin> tag in your template code box. Preview and you will see that the Page Element specified in the code is no longer seen on the blog. Save the template.

This has nothing to do with it.. but I wonder if you can check your statistic on blogger.com? Where do I click? .. do I have to make any changes or install anything? Or am I just blind.
Isabelle Lindh,
You can use Google Analytics which gives free statistics.

Read the Adsense Terms of Service. There is a limit on total number of Ads.
Very useful post for hiding the Google Analytics page element (when you have it on your blog). Thanks for sharing.
I'm not sure I follow. Why would you want to hide a page element?
Sports Legends,
Some code like Google Analytics has just to be pasted in a HTML page element for it to work. It does not show anything except a blank space on web page.
Please please please tell me how to put your comment thing on my page too... 15 PEOPLE HAVE COMMENTED HERE. I love that! Mine is just a tiny link. Can I do that too? :) Thanks!!! ~Tiffany

Have a look at How to make Comments Link more User Friendly?
Hi Vin,
I've lost my blog's ability to access Page Elements. The
only tabs I now have (after changing to Minima Classic 3 column) are: Edit Posts, Settings (publishing, formatting, comments, archiving, site feed, email, open ID& permissions), Template (edit html, pick new, customize design & adsense) and View Blog.
Thanks again!
Eve
