Redirecting Traffic From A Blogger Blog To Non Google Hosting

By
Occasionally in Blogger Help Forum: How Do I?, we see the innocent question
How do I redirect traffic, automatically, from my Blogger blog to my WordPress blog?
or
I just moved my blog to a real website - how do I get my readers from my Blogger blog to my website?
This need, like redirecting traffic between BlogSpot URLs, is one feature that Blogger will probably not ever provide.

If Blogger were to allow the automatic forwarding of traffic, from a Blogger blog to a non Google website, spammers could use BlogSpot blogs as gateways, and move their spam content around, at will. You can redirect traffic from a BlogSpot URL to a non BlogSpot URL - but you must use a properly setup custom domain, to do this.

You can combine your Blogger blog(s) with a non Google website, if you think about it.
  • Setup a virtual host pair, in the website domain.
  • Publish your blog to the virtual host.
  • Add a custom link bar to the blog, and the website.
  • Use the same template on the blog and the website.
  • Use your imagination.

The latter solution simply requires some Blogger content in your blog, which is then merged into a non Blogger website. It just doesn't allow you to simply redirect your Blogger blog straight into a non Blogger website. And if you see some Blogger blogs that do seem to redirect to a non Blogger / Google URL, those are just blogs that haven't been given an offsite redirect warning interstitial - or classified as a spam host - yet.

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.
