3. Show Quick Editing on your Blog

Problem:
The same problem I described in Show Email Post links goes also for the Show Quick Editing on your Blog option.

Solution:
If you don't need this function, simply deactivate it in your blog's settings. Even if you do want to use it, do the following and deactive it after this (the function will still work):
Copy and paste the html code for the Quick Editing feature from your published blog page's html source. The code goes into your weblog template, right before the tag <$BlogItemControl$>. It should look something like this, but with different numbers:

<span class="item-control admin-53169609 pid-1116362449"><a style="border:none;" href="http://www.blogger.com/app/post.pyra?blogID=9139428&postID=110036193411846616&quickEdit=true" title="Edit Post"><span class="quick-edit-icon">&nbsp;</span></a></span>

Now replace & with &amp; (2x), and replace the postID number with <$BlogItemNumber$>.

Then deactive the Show Quick Editing option in your blog settings. The one we just built manually will still be shown and produce valid code.
Note: This will only work for blog admins, not for team blog members.

I wanted to change the Quick Edit image on my blog, and had been searching around for a while for just how to do it. I found this, and now, the image is what I wanted it to be.

It's half a year old, but thanks anyway, this post helped me figure out what I needed.
 
It's good to hear that :)
Pls let me know if you encounter any other issues with validity and blogger.com.
 
How silly.I didn't even knew such a site exists.
