Not Linux but Useful Info BLOGGER

I have this blog associated with an old email address that I do not want to keep so I needed to transfer this blog to another email account. I started searching and after a few hours I was ready to give up and figured it couldn't be done when I found this great article.

Use the link and read the nice article with screen shots so that you get this right. If you mess this up, you will lock yourself out of your Blog.

He is a summary of the above linked article.

1. Log into your blogger/blogspot account with the old user name (old email address).

2. Click on the Permission tab.

3. Click on the Add Author button on the permissions tabs.

4. Enter your new user name (new email address) and send the invite.

5. Log out of Blogger/Blogspot and log into the new email address.

6. Open the email and click on the invite link in the email.

7. Log out of your new email account

8. Log back into your Blogger/Blogspot account using the Old email address as your user name.

9. Go to the Permission Tab again and you should see two email addresses there, your old and your new.

10. Click on the Grant Admin Privileges button beside the new email address.

11. You can now use either email address (user name) to manage your blog.

12. Click on the Remove link beside your old email address (user name).

13. Confirm the remove and log out as your old email address (user name).

14. Log into Blogger/Blogspot with your new email address (user name).

15. Done!

If you get this wrong you will not be able to manage or worse not able to access your BLOG. I encourage you to read the linked to article, if for no other reason than the fact that they have other good how-to article relating to Blogger/Blogspot.
