Redirecting Traffic Between BlogSpot URLs

By
Occasionally in Blogger Help Forum: How Do I?, we see the innocent question
How do I redirect traffic, automatically, from one BlogSpot blog to another?
or
I just changed my blog name - how do I get my readers from the old URL to the new one?
And this is one feature that Blogger will probably not ever provide.

If Blogger were to allow the automatic forwarding of traffic, from BlogSpot URL to BlogSpot URL, spammers could setup automated splog farms, with gateway and payload blogs, and move their splog content around, at will.

That said, there are ways that you can plan the change, and make it possible for your readers to find your blog, if you choose to rename the blog.

You can, for instance, redirect the blog feed from the old URL to the new URL. Or, you can combine your Blogger blog(s), maybe as a blog cluster.

What if I want to redirect the home page so it automatically goes to a label search page on the same blog?

I think the simplest solution here is for you to setup a second blog, and only publish content that you want on the main page, in that blog. All other content you can publish in the first blog.

Than make the two blogs part of a blog cluster.

Add A Custom Redirect, If You Change A Post URL

By
When you rename a blog, the most that you can do, to keep the old URL useful, is to setup a stub post , with a clickable link to the new URL. Yo! The blog is now at xxxxxxx.blogspot.com!! Blogger forbids gateway blogs, and similar blog to blog redirections . When you rename a post, you can setup a custom redirect - and automatically redirect your readers to the post, under its new URL. You should take advantage of this option, if you change a post URL.

Jump Break Is Visible Only In An Index Page

By
Some blog owners are unsure what a Jump Break looks like, when applied to their blogs. Occasionally, in Blogger Help Forum: Get Help with an Issue , we see the confusion. Where's the Jump Break? or I added a Jump Break to several posts, but it never shows up! When asked for a screen print of what they're seeing, they may provide a image of the post, in the Post Editor Preview window - or possibly, the published post, but in post page view.
