Natalie, these instructions are up-to-date as of July 2008. I can’t guarantee they still work. The widget is still redirecting my blog, but that doesn’t mean the Blogger Template editor hasn’t changed.

Help, please! I cannot get this code to work. I try to insert it in my template after:

And blogger will not save my template for me. It says that this widget “isn’t valid.” What am I doing wrong? It’s driving me crazy!

jirib, It looks like your cut-and-paste got blocked. Make sure you turn > and < into > and < before posting.

Well shoot!

I do however, thank you very much for all your help in trying to get this to work. I’ll start back to square one I guess in my search for a blogger to blogger redirect for posts!

I know my first comments probably weren’t as clear as they could have been, but I am not redirecting from blogger to wordpress, but from one blogger address to another blogger address. Perhaps this is where the problem lies to begin with?

Oh. Yes. The widget rewrites a Blogger-style link to a “WordPress imported from Blogger”-style link. It won’t work at all for Blogger-to-Blogger importing. (Sorry, I have no expertise on that.)

hmm – I keep forgetting that the < things, if closed, get deleted.

So, the correct URL that you widget gives me is:

Please note that these blogger addresses can currently only be viewed by me. If I need to have them available to you for this troubleshooting, I can change the settings for that.

The “old” to be redirected permalink a post titled “WOO HOO!” is:

The “new” permalink post title of the same post is:

http://areyouinthebeyond.blogspot.com/2008/09/woo-hoo_08.html

All else remaining the same, the old post permalinks are:
- this-one-doesnt-have-word-test.html
- test3.html
- test2.html
- test1.html

The new post permalinks are:
- this-one-doesn-have-word-test_07.html
- test3_345.html
- test2_846.html
- test1_1267.html

Do you see how blogger has given each one a different name than the original permalink during the export/import?

Thanks again. I may be asking for too much to do a redirect from blogger to blogger.
