I've been trying to get my name blogspot but squatters have control over it and apparently can't do anything about it! The closest I could get to a new blogger address is elloecho.blogspot.com but then blogger classified it as spam and locked it up for a very long time! I only just got it back and now, finally, on the advice of my agent, am working on changing my blog to the new blogger address. The intent is that I will move all content from here to the new blogspot and that when you click here, you will get redirected immediately until such time as you all start relinking me at the new place.
EXCEPT, I am fairly technically savvy at times and inept at others. This is one of my inept times. I can't find anything to help me figure out how the heck I can keep all my blog features here and transfer them to the new blog. And I tried a redirect on the other blog and had some problems and now I'm afraid to redirect on this one cause ineptness has taken over my brain functions. SO I am putting out an SOS for help please.
So to all my technically brilliant buddies - please help me figure out how to do what I want to do and not screw up. I'll come up with amusing prizes if it all works out right! I might even let Da Man post one of his embarrassing expose stories about me that he has been DYING to spill and which I have rejected on pain of waxing his tenders.

- Ello is short for Ellen Oh. Transplanted from Brooklyn, NY, I'm a lawyer, a writer, and a college instructor now living near the nations capital. I have three smart, beautiful little girls and an ultra-supportive husband who tells me to write every day so that maybe, one day, I'll actually get a book published. I'm repped by the amazing Joe Monti of Barry Goldblatt Literary. And what do you know, Da Man was right! My first book, Prophecy,Prophecy Series Bk 1, is being published by HarperTeen for release in Winter 2013! Life is very good.

Wish I could help, Ello, but I suspect you could probably sort out my own techno-problems. Let's hope that more technically savvy people will happen along...
Moving your template ought to be straightforward — you just copy the html text defining your look into the appropriate slot on your new blog.
As for migrating the whole thing, it's shifting all the links and gadgets, isn't it?
The only thing I've found is this:

Uuum - sorry - I'm clueless. Aerin's all super-
techsavvy though. I'm the bottom of the food chain when it comes to 'puters!
Ell,
a. Glad to see you posting again.
b. Whirlochre's link should do it.
c. I haven't tried it myself, but it looks pretty straight-forward.
Good Luck! :)
Yeah, I bet the import or export options should help a bunch. I haven't done it myself, though.
Thanks to everyone!
Thanks Whirl! Ok that sounds simple in theory and I will check it out. But anyone have any ideas on the redirect?
Hey Ell - okay, I'm trying to understand what you want to do.
First - you want people who come here to redirect to the new blog, right? Presumably you want an automatic redirection and not just a "hey there, click this link to go to the new blog"?
Second - you want to up and move this whole place to a new address - old posts, gadgets, template, etc?
I can totally do all of that, if that's what you're wanting. (Well, at least I'm pretty sure I can do the redirecting.) Let me know.
Ello,
I would read this topics ...
Can I change my Blog*Spot address?
and
How do I post a redirect to my new address?
Nandini
er ... that would be these topics ... and I call myself a writer!
I just redirected my domain name to my blog and it worked fine. I used godaddy.com. I know that's probably not any help, though!
I feel for you, Ello. It's a major project and a scary process but you'll succeed.
No clue! But I feel for you if that means anything! Hate when tech things are difficult.
Aerin - yes yes that's exactly right. If you can walk me through it you will have saved me.
Nandini - I'm off to read these pronto! Thanks so much!!
Hey everyone! Hopefully I will figure this out soon!
I'm not so great at this kind of thing either, but I'm sending you virtual peach pie.
I've actually rec'd a personal & helpful response when e-mailing Google/Blogger for help in the past. Have you tried that?
Squatters are such a pain :(
Waxing his tenders?! YIKES!!
Under such a threat, I'm not sure I'd admit to knowing your NAME, let alone anything embarrassing!
i just started fresh. =)
had no idea how to do it and didn't want to have old content up anyway.
hope what whirl suggested works! good luck!
there are blogspot squatters? *boggles*
Ello - sorry, I'm way behind on my computery stuff. Still need help?
since i asked you for help, you know i tend to get useless in such matters ;) lol
but yeah, some woman used 'laughingwolf' on here some years ago, gave it up, but i can't use it, so use laughing1wolf grrrrr
i am laughingwolf elsewhere, have been for some 12 + years... but i notice others use it too :(
Thanks for asking this question! I've been planning to change/update my pajama gardener blog with a new name and don't know how...so I'm going to read here.
