Recovering Your Non GMail Based Blogger Account

Like problems with people who can't remember their GMail email addresses, we're seeing complaints from blog owners who never bothered to remember their non GMail based Blogger account name or password, and who now cannot login to Blogger.

Help me! My previous email account is defunct, and now I can't access my blog!

Everybody makes mistakes - and some mistakes must be resolved by the blog owners.

Just as GMail provides the possibility of recovering your GMail email address, so do most public non GMail email services. Yahoo, for instance, has a link I can't access my account which leads to their wizard.

Looks like you need some help?

Here, you have 4 choices.

I forgot my password
My password doesn't work
I forgot my Yahoo! ID
My account may have been compromised

Similar to selections provided by GMail, here you may see some possibilities to get your Yahoo email account back in order, so you can recover your Yahoo based Blogger account.

Other email services, hopefully, have similar utilities. You'll most likely have to make some effort to prove who you are, to any of these services - but if you try, you'll probably get your Blogger account back a lot sooner than just posting in Blogger Help Forum: Something Is Broken

Help me!

And when you check your email accounts, GMail or non GMail, check persistently. And, be prepared for seeing spoof filtering effects.

As you continue with the login / recovery process, be aware of the nature of Blogger accounts, email accounts, and Google accounts. And when you login, use the "One account" login process properly.

Add A Custom Redirect, If You Change A Post URL

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.

What's The URL Of My Blog?

We see the plea for help, periodically I need the URL of my blog, so I can give it to my friends. Help! Who's buried in Grant's Tomb, after all? No Chuck, be polite. OK, OK. The title of this blog is "The Real Blogger Status", and the title of this post is "What's The URL Of My Blog?".

Blogger Magic - Adding Label Search URLs

One of the simplest ways to make a blog useful is to add label searches. Adding label searches, in page / post text, is not easy - unless you know how to build the URLs. Here's a label search from this blog. http://blogging.nitecruzr.net/search/label/Blogger%20Magic All that I want, when using that label search, is to add another reference to my "Blogger Magic" post series. " Blogger Magic " emphasises how easy it is, to use Blogger. How easy is it, to remember that syntax - to add a label link? Maybe, a " Blogger Magic " reference, in this post?
