If you have a Gmail account and hope to create a new Gmail address or
want to transfer your blog to another email address – DO NOT JUST
DELETE your Gmail account. By doing so you will inadvertently delete
your blog and that is nearly impossible to recover. Before you attempt
anything, always download and save your template. And, ummm… I refuse to be responsible for you losing your blog.
Proceed with caution.
Transferring your Blogger blog from one gmail / email account to another is really quite simple. But done incorrectly, it can be disastrous.
Did you back up your blog? For real? Don’t think it can’t happen to you.
Here are the steps to transfer your Blogger / Blogspot blog to a new email address:
1. Sign into your old Gmail account, the one currently assigned to your blog.
2. Go to your blog. Customize > Settings> Permissions>
3. “Add Author.” Add the new Gmail account as an author.
4. Sign out of Blogger and Gmail. Sign into your new Gmail account.
5. Accept the authorship to your blog. Don’t stop here!
6. Sign back into the first (old) account. You will need to go back to Customize> Settings> Permissions.
7. Grant your new email address Admin Privs. Both email addresses now have equal blogging control.
8. You may now sign into your new Gmail address and control your blog.
9. If you plan on deleting your old Gmail address, you may now remove it from your Blog by repeating #2, then clicking “remove”.
10. Once there is no association to the blog, you can safely delete your Gmail account without losing your blog.
