How to Move the Navigation Bar to the Left in Blogger
Using Blogger, you can customize the layout of your blog -- choosing the size and location of your navigation bar, which can guide your readers through the highlights of your site. Edit the design until you achieve a look that perfectly suits your preferences. If you want the navigation bar to be the first text your readers see on the left, you can make and save that change.
