Revert to blogspot.com URL, then publish to new custom domain, OR<br />2. Export XML file from old custom domain blog, import it to new one.<br /><br />At this time, I don't have very many readers or subscribers, so that part is not a big concern.

And there's no native "checkout" / "marketplace" Blogger add-on - but you can easily setup any agreeable small business market third party service, then <a href="http://blogging.nitecruzr.net/2007/06/adding-your-blogger-blog-to-your-non.html" rel="nofollow">link your blog and the market service</a> that you setup.<br /><br />Just be careful, and don't mix ads hosted on your blog with programs that let you buy and sell "traffic" (aka "<a href="http://blogging.nitecruzr.net/2011/04/is-blog-that-uses-affiliate-networking.html" rel="nofollow">affiliate marketing</a>").<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://blogging.nitecruzr.net/2007/06/adding-your-blogger-blog-to-your-non.html" rel="nofollow">http://blogging.nitecruzr.net/2007/06/adding-your-blogger-blog-to-your-non.html</a><br /><br /><a href="http://blogging.nitecruzr.net/2011/04/is-blog-that-uses-affiliate-networking.html" rel="nofollow">http://blogging.nitecruzr.net/2011/04/is-blog-that-uses-affiliate-networking.html</a>Nitecruzrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08069634565746003311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24069595.post-39880445760741620992013-07-26T14:51:11.579-07:002013-07-26T14:51:11.579-07:00Chuck,

Thanks, Bill<br />Sometime in the distant past I remember reading something to the effect that selling from a Blogger blog was against Blogger's rules( something like it was a violation of TOS). Is that still the case or has that changed? For example I'm a photographer who sells my fine art photos through sites such as Cafepress, Zazzle, and Fine Art America. I'm thinking about turning my Blogger blog with its custom domain into a photo blog with perhaps short little articles about the photos including where they were taken and/or how they were taken. Is it ok to either link the photo directly to products that show that photo in Cafepress or Fine Art America or can I add an HTML widget that is linked to my stores at Cafepress or Fine Art America? Fine Art America even has a shopping cart widget( you can see it here: http://fineartamerica.com/announcements.html). Can I put that on my Blogger blog or will Blogger shut me down? Or could I have something as simple as a sidebar photo that's linked to my stores? I see lots of Blogger blogs that have these sorts of links or widgets but I am wanting to make sure that I stay clear of anything that violates Blogger rules.The Campfire Placehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01922112918802459231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24069595.post-89288320866036527852013-06-09T11:04:55.238-07:002013-06-09T11:04:55.238-07:00DE,

You are my go-to resource for all things Blogger!<br /><br />I have an upcoming event on my blog and I'm concerned about bandwidth. I've read your articles on restrictions and usage and done some homework and I *think* there should be nothing hampering my visitor's usage during my event, but I wanted to hear it from someone who knows Blogger way better than I do. <br /><br />Basically, for three days I could have 1000+ visitors to my blog who will be watching videos (embedded using YouTube iframes) and chatting (embedded CoverItLive iframes). I believe that using these services in iframes will mean that they are taking the brunt of any badnwidth usage, but I have a friend who did something like this and her blog/site crashed. I don't want to crash!<br /><br />Can either put my mind at ease or tell me how I can avoid my site crashing during this event?<br /><br />Thanks so much Chuck!

Only "Jump Break" works well with auto pagination - and most auto summarisation techniques work best when truncating text - not meta code.
