Swapping URLs Between Two Blogs

Sometimes, you have 2 blogs (heck, I have way more than 2), and after you have been publishing both for a while, you decide that maybe the content (comments, structure) of one blog would really be better published under the URL of the other blog. Maybe you want to keep both blogs, so deleting one would be stupid. The nice thing here is that swapping the two is not all that difficult (though if either blog is mature, you really should plan this change).

1. Make sure that both blogs are owned by the same Blogger account.
2. Re publish Blog A to a temporary URL (we will call URL 3).
3. Re publish Blog B to the former URL of Blog A (we will call URL 1).
4. Re publish Blog A to the former URL of Blog B (we will call URL 2).

Simple? Yes, for me - Maybe, for you - Not so, for everybody.

If a custom domain is involved, plan just a bit more detail (please do this).

1. Make sure that both blogs are owned by the same Blogger account.
2. Publish the blog with the custom domain URL (we will call it Blog A) back to BlogSpot, to URL 1.
3. If there is a second blog currently published to a custom domain, publish it back to URL 2.
4. Re publish Blog A to a temporary URL (we will call URL 3).
5. Re publish Blog B to the former URL of Blog A (we will call URL 1).
6. Re publish Blog A to the former URL of Blog B (we will call URL 2).
7. If desired, re publish Blog A to custom domain URL 2.
8. If desired, re publish Blog B to custom domain URL 1.

Do this systematically, and you won't be writing to Google Blogger Help
