Okay guys and gals...Blogger has finally made it possible for you to really screw up your Googly life...LOL...just kidding!
They have finally made it possible to move blogs...at will..between accounts. Now I'm not going to create more accounts to give you a show and tell but my Blog*Star buddy Chuck has a post with a lot of pictures!!
The steps are relatively easy!
First...with Google, set up the second account where you want to transfer the blog.
1.) From your Dashboard, go to Settings, then to the far right tab called Permissions.
2.) As the original administrator of the blog, invite the second account to be a blog member using the email address of the new account.
3.) Log into the second mail account and accept the invitation.
4.) As the original Administrator, make sure both accounts are "Administrators"...just click on the button that says guest and it will change to Administrator.
5.) Click "Remove" for the account that you want to delete. The account that is left is now the administrator.
6.) Log in with the new account and the blog will be on your Dashboard with full administrative access. Voila!

Thanks, one of my friends was looking for this one, and i gave a no for it.
Today i mailed him, stating it is possible..
Well that sounds like a handy feature to have! I guess if you were handing a blog over to someone else this would make it easier too.
Bonnie -- your blog came up when I searched for help. Maybe you can tell me this. Some blogs (on wordpress or blogger) ask for both a blogger id and a password to allow a comment to be posted. I have never had a comment accepted when I tried to do this using my gmail ID and pw or my blogger ID and gmail pw (which is what gets me into my own blog). Do you know what it's looking for? Before I moved up to current blogger, I had my blogger id, but I thought I used the same pw. IF that's what it wants, I don't know what that pw is.
Hi Mae,
On Blogger or Wordpress the ID and PW would be the ones that you use on that particular platform. On any Blogger account, the ID and PW are the same ones that you used to leave a comment on my blog.
Or you can always choose "Other" on the comment login part and fill in the required info!
I'm not sure how WordPress works!
great post! thanks for the information.
What a great blog!! I'm adding you to my blogroll. This is so helpful!!
That's a pretty awesome idea. I wish they had that before I moved to wordpress.
You got a really helpful blog! Thanks for that hint!

That's cool. I've shared it with a couple of friends now. Great find!
Whats up? No progress?
It would be to bad if such a interesting blog gets neglected...
Hi there. What if I don't have a 'permission' tab...?
the only time you wouldn't have a permission tab is if you're not the owner of the blog, just a guest.
Thanks for the information. I needed these. great.
is there a way to upload old blogs from other sites, say livejournal, onto Blogger? i'd really like to move my blogs here, or at least copy them :)

very good work boss
This was extremely useful information! Thank you. I have been juggling two google account for a while now and was about to combine them as one with this method.
Well that sounds like a handy feature to have!
Thank you for your help!
This is awesome post! Need to help a friend shift his blog to another blogging platform. thanks!
Thanks, I found this one very useful.
My issue is a little more complicated --
1. by accident I have two accounts with 2 different email addresses as administrators - both emails are mine.
2. here is what i want to do
a. inspiration by design ( Account A) is the name I want to use for my account weallneedalittleinspiration
[Account B)
b. I have been posting to account B not relizing that account A is set up and that is the name I really want -- and I want it without all that blog stuff in the title -- just like I did for weallneedalittleinspiration -- is this possible?
here is my email address stopandsmile@mac.com
please help
I'm not understanding what you are talking about "accounts" without "all that blog stuff in the title".
To start with "accounts" do not have names. Blogs habe URL's, but they all have blogspot at the end of them.
Please explain further.
sorry -- i meant url's not account
but i was able to change my blog's url to a name with not blogspot at the end
That's not possible...either it is not a Blogger blog, or you've bought it as a domain name.
LOL...like I said...you bought them as domain names. The most you could do is copy and paste the posts from the one that you don't want to use...into the one you do want to use.
Is it possible to migrate one blog into another blog when they are both registered and adminstered within the same account?
LOL...NO IT IS NOT!!!
And if you try it you will delete one of them!
This above mentioned process is for moving blogs between ACCOUNTS!
thanks for such information and tips :)
Wow! What a well written great piece of information. I remember that I was looking for something like this from a couple of months. I am glad that I found my way here by coincidence!

I admire the valuable information you offer in your articles. I will bookmark your blog and have my children check up here often. I am quite sure they will learn lots of new stuff here than anybody else! Water Damage Restoration
