How To Change the Ownership of Blogger Blog?

You might be wondering how do you change the ownership of your Blogger blog? That's when something happen and you've change your Gmail address (could be you don't like your old Gmail address, you've lost your old Gmail address, or for any other reason), and wish to use your new Gmail address to continue your old Blogger account (so that your existing blog, post, comments, pictures, videos, etc can be maintained). Another reason you might need to switch ownership is due to your Blogger picture upload limit (1024MB) is exceeded, and you need a new account to continue upload image (though Google might extend the storage space in the future).

I find here & there searching the web and found it's very easy to change the ownership of your Blogger blog, it will be done within just few steps. First go to your blog Settings -> Permissions, under the Blog Authors, click the 'Add Author', and then key in your new Gmail address and click 'Invite'. You will receive an email from Blogger in a short moment, open the email and click the invitation link, you're required to create (sign in) a Blogger account with your new Gmail address, using your existing new Gmail password. After signing in, your old blog is accessible to you, but it's not done yet.

Sign in to your Blogger account using your old Gmail address, go to Settings -> Permissions, you will see 2 authors, one being the old Gmail address, another is the new Gmail address, for the new Gmail address, click the 'grant administrator' to give full access of your blog to your new Gmail address, now you have 2 Gmail addresses that can both access and change anything in your blog, or we can say there is 2 owners to your blog. Your next step is optional, that is to remove your old Gmail address from the Blogger account, which is described below:


Sign in to your Blogger account using your new Gmail address, go to Settings -> Persmissions, and click the 'remove' button to remove your old Gmail address, this way, you have changed the ownership of your Blogger blog from your old Gmail to your new Gmail, without interfering your blog settings or posts. If you have multiple blog with your old Gmail address, just repeat the steps above until all the blogs have been switched your new Gmail address, and you're done!
