Advantages

• Navbar contains a Search box at the left, which can be used by your blog visitors to search your posts.
• At just right of the Search box Navbar has a Google +1 button which your visitors may use to recommend your posts.
• ‘More’ option is available just right of +1 button. Clicking on ‘More’ drop downs a menu which has ‘Share by Email’, ‘Share with Facebook’, ‘Share with Twitter’ and ‘Report Abuse’ Option. First three can be useful for you but if you are a blogger who steals other's content, ‘Report Abuse’ can do much harm for you.
