How to move your ‘blogger blog’ to one google account from another?

I have been searching for a very good answer for the question “How to move your ‘blogger blog’ to one google account from another?”. Because I wanted to shift my blogger blog from my old google account to new google account. So I could manage my all my web activities from one account. Who will like going to their old apartment just to shave their beard? By the we could just export the blog and import to your new account. The thing is you wont get the same URL for your new one. This is a disadvantage in importing and exporting. If some old fan of your blog try to visit your blog after a long time he wont find it out unless you give a proper route guide to your new blog.

At last I have figured out a way to have the same URL from our new account and did it. After a while I searched and found the same way some other blogs as well .

So here is the way…

1st, Go to your blogger Dashboard from your old account

2nd, Select the Settings link of the blog which you wanted to transfer to your new google account

3rd, Click the Permissions tab which will be under the Settings tab

4th, There you will see a thing as Blog Authors, here all you gotta do is clicking Add Authors and give your new google account’s email address (the new gmail address), click invite. You will receive a new email to your new gmail. In it, click the link which will come after ‘To contribute to this blog, visit:’. Now your new google account is an author of that blog which means you can write and post to that blog from your new account.

5th, Now you have to come to your old account in blogger. Refresh the Permissions page, Now you will see an option as grant admin privileges right next to your newly added author (your new account). CLick it. Now you have given the Admin rights to your new account.

6th, Now you will see a Remove button at right side to both Authors. Click the Remove button which is in row of your old account’s name. Confirm it by clicking the Remove Blog Member in the pop up window.

Tadaa, Now you have transferred your blog with the same old URL to your new google account

 

Important Thing: Now you can delete your old account by clicking this link while you are logged in with your old account. But the thing is, if you have updated your blog with pictures and videos, you will lose them too. Because, google will update them inside Picasa Web. So if you thought it is not a big deal delete it. I have no idea yet how to get the old URL for your pics if you back up them. If you could get things done in that way, you can delete your old account completely without getting worried.
