Why load it in the first place (even assuming it is cached)? And as I said, I don't mind leaving the navbar there as long as it's as customisable at least as I specified in my post.<br /><br />Good to know that you'll change the presentation of search results. That's great! @Rick: Thanks for your comment.

Good to know that you'll change the presentation of search results. That's great!

Free: Yes.<br />2. Customizable Template: Yes, and with Layouts (the upgraded version of templates) you get even more control/functionality than you now have with custom templates.<br />3. Static HTML page rendering: Technically, we aren't rendering every blog page, but the effect to the end user is as if we are. (We operate a robust server configuration that uses edge caching, and monitor latency around the world. We are working on improving latency generally, but the user-visible pageloads are faster on custom domains than they'd be on most webhosts.)<br />4. Keep current permalinks: Yes.<br />5. Manual HTML input: Yes.<br />6. Web-based UI: Yes.<br />7. Secure data transmission: Yes.<br /><br />Re: Custom Domains: You can use CSS to hide the navbar. (It has no user-visible impact in terms of pageload, due to the caching that's done. So use CSS to hide the navbar and you're fine.)<br /><br />I've actually mocked up a change to search results that would be much more Google-like; probably won't happen this quarter but it's on our list. Hi Ade -

I'll address Blogger's abilities relative to your "What I Need" section:
