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).

Needed a Cheap Scanner and Got a Printer Too
I needed a cheap scanner that would work with Ubuntu. I had nice little Cannon but it was a MS Windows only scanner. I've looked on and off for about 6 months now, reading on-line about which ones work with Linux and was surprised that there wasn't a lot of information out there on which models work and when I found one, I couldn't find that model for the price I wanted.
I finally stumbled across an HP article which contained a very nice chart that lists what HP printers/scanners/fax/all-in-ones work with different Linux Distros. The chart will tell you what features work and what ones don't. There is a nice how to install the HPLIP software with screen shots and explanations as to what each command does (You will have to use the Command Line but it's not hard) The main thing to remember is not to plug your device into a USB port until the instructions tell you too.
As I said I wanted a cheap scanner but found an HP OfficeJet 4500 AIO on Amazon for $59. It has a ADF (Auto Document Feeder), Printer, Fax, Copier and has a network port (wired). So far, I know the printer, scanner, and copier work just fine on Ubuntu 10.04 but I don't have anyway to test the Fax so your on your own there. Don't get me wrong this is a cheap device, it's all plastic, hinges are weak, and scanning at over 300 dpi is slow, but it works and was only $63 delivered.
Since I bought this for it's scanner, I don't really care, but ink is $25 for a tri-color (200 page limit) and $30 for a Black (700-900 page limit). If you were using this for its printer, you would be ahead to just sell it for $20 and buy a new printer every time you run out of ink.
I want to do some OCR work in Ubuntu and scan in some old photos. As I find software and begin working with Linux scanner software I'll document it here.
