This would make the current address available for someone else to use.<br /><br />Unfortunately, some people don't want to make the effort to create a blog, they just want to take an existing (previously used) address, recover the content (that you just re published under the new address), and re publish the content (your content). That creates a <a href="http://blogging.nitecruzr.net/2009/11/attack-of-clones.html" rel="nofollow">duplication of content</a>, and damages the reputation of your blog.<br /><br />Also, you have to let your readers know that your blog is still active - you just have a new address.<br /><br />So you end up having to publish a <a href="http://blogging.nitecruzr.net/2006/06/stub-post.html" rel="nofollow">stub blog</a>, informing your readers what your new address is - and leave it at that.<br /><br />In a few years, all of your readers will know of your new address - and the search engines will only cache the stub content. You will then be able to delete your stub, and let somebody else have the address. They won't find any cached content to re publish - and they will have to start their new blog, from scratch.Nitecruzrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08069634565746003311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24069595.post-35024132192982290192015-08-11T22:33:07.129-07:002015-08-11T22:33:07.129-07:00If a person wants to change from one blog account ...If a person wants to change from one blog account to another some people put a redirect on their old accounts. Others just seem to put up a goodbye message. Is there anyway to protect your old account from hijacks when you move to another? Or is it possible to actually take the blog down?Anne@HeadFullofBookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01069558006454986084noreply@blogger.com
