    @Jack wilson
    If your target site is also a blogger blog, you can redirect to its homepage only. Blogger doesn’t have these kind of advanced options. However if your target blog is self-hosted wordpress, you can do this using various tutorials available online.
    For example:
    http://www.iblogzone.com/2010/03/how-to-migrate-from-blogger-to-wordpress-part-1.html

    If you cannot do this personally, avail professional services from the experts.
    For example:
    http://bloggertowpmigration.com/

    Good Luck

    I usually go to de configuration panel at blogger and add my new domain as if I were going to use the domain at blogger, but I do not update the dns to google, just use the hosting normally. I do this after importing the posts from blogger to wordpress.

    This way all the links are redirected to the domain.

  31. Fernando Benito says:
    November 9, 2011 at 12:03 pm

    To be more clear. I add teh domain that I´m using in my wordpress site as a custom domain on blogger.

    Obviusly I will not update the domain DNS to point to the google servers.

    This way all the links are redirected properly to the wordpress blog where you can handle them with plugins and a proper permalink structure to keep at least the permalinks for the posts the same.

    Reccommended Plugins:
    Redirection
    Permalink Migrator
    Broken Link Checker

  32. Fernando Benito says:

    try this

    strLoc = window.location.href;
    var newLoc = strLoc.replace('http://abc.blogspot.com/', 'http://abc-abc.blogspot.com/&#039 ;) ;
    window.location.replace(newLoc);

    This way you redirect all user who has javascript enabled (almost everyone) from one site to another.

    If you want to redirect just one post you can use the same code. Here is the example.

    strLoc = window.location.href;
    var newLoc = strLoc.replace('http://abc.blogspot.com/2011/10/i-am-happy.html', 'http://abc-abc.blogspot.com/2011/10/i-am-happy.html&#039 ;) ;
    window.location.replace(newLoc);

    This code can be pasted in the html of your theme in the head section.

    I saw your site when i search for blog post redirection. is there any way we can redirect users to another blog post in same blog after 1 or 2 minutes.

  35. Fernando Benito says:
    November 13, 2011 at 4:26 pm

    This can be done using the same code provided in this blog post but you need to add a conditional IF.

    Here you can see some examples:
    http://mystady.com/2011/05/7-blogger-page-types-analysis-code.html

    So you can use an IF asking if the actual blog url (data:blog.url) is the url of the post that you want to redirect after some time.

    And then You can add the meta redirection with the delay of time that you want.

    Here is the code

    <b:if cond=’data:blog.url == &quot;http://YOUR OLD URL HERE&quot;
    ‘><meta content="60;url=http://YOUR NEW URL HERE" http-equiv="refresh"/></b:if>

    I do not know if the code will be shown as it should, so if it dos not work I can post a link to a text file or something like that where you can see the code or even a live example.

    Hi Shafar,
    I must say that the code you provided is excellent and will help all of us who want to redirect in Blogger. But, I need a help from you.

    I have deleted few blog-posts from my blog-site and now want to redirect visitors to my Homepage.

    If you visit http://news24x7online.blogspot.in/2011/11/hot-sexy-photos-of-sunny-leone-new.html this deleted page you will get to see the default Blogger Message, But I want to redirect all visitors to my Homepage instead of Blogger’s Default page.

    Is there any code to redirect to homepage on selected url-blog-pages?

  44. Shafar says:
    February 3, 2012 at 7:52 pm

    @Andy
    Try this code:
    <b:if cond=’data:blog.url == &quot;http://YOUR OLD URL HERE&quot;
    ‘><meta content="60;url=http://YOUR NEW URL HERE" http-equiv="refresh"/></b:if>
