News!! Giving Closed To Other Google Concern Human Relationship Command Over Your Blog

This article is almost changing the ownership of your Blogger blog. As good every bit looking at how to brand the changes within Blogger, it also looks at unopen to other issues you lot may demand to intend almost (eg comment moderation, items exterior Blogger, advertising).

Blogs together with Google Accounts

Each weblog is "owned" yesteryear at to the lowest degree one Google account. This administrator draw of piece of occupation organisation human relationship tin exercise anything inwards the blog: write posts, edit post that are laid upwards published yesteryear unopen to other author, set upwards novel authors, change the template, add novel formatting rules, delete posts - or the entire blog, moderate comments, etc etc etc.

Initially, the draw of piece of occupation organisation human relationship that sets upwards the weblog is the owner. But if the soul using this draw of piece of occupation organisation human relationship gives someone else administrator rights, together with so at that spot are multiple owners.

And 1 time at that spot are multiple administrators, any 1 administrator tin delete all the others, or simply demote them downwards to beingness authors, thence making him or her self into the owner,

The rattling minimum that you lot demand to do to transfer weblog ownership to another Google account is to:

Give the other Google draw of piece of occupation organisation human relationship writer rights, together with so 1 time this is successful,
Give the other Google draw of piece of occupation organisation human relationship administrator rights.

But, unless you lot have got a very, rattling uncomplicated blog, you lot cannot halt there: you lot also demand to think almost other things that may have got been laid up, within Blogger, together with inwards whatever other tools that the weblog uses.

Other things to modify within Blogger

Comments

You may desire to modify who is notified almost whatever comments that are left on the blog. This is done on the Settings / Posts together with Comments tab, which has places to enter:

Comment moderation yes/no
Emailing comments that demand moderation (enter 1 e-mail address to have these)

Email Notifications:

If the weblog is laid upwards to notify anyone when it is published, you lot may desire to review this - whatever any related Google groups or forwarding addresses you lot may hold upwards using to brand this work.

Is controlled on the Settings > Mobile and Email > Email tab.

Mail2Post:

If the weblog is set upwards to have postings yesteryear email, you lot may desire to modify the subway scheme words (so the onetime possessor no longer knows them).   If at that spot is an intermediate email-address used so that the possessor tin tell who made Mail2Posts, together with so the novel possessor should either have got over this account, or laid upwards together with exercise a novel one.

These values are all flora on the Settings > Mobile and Email  > Email tab.

Mobile Posting:
If the weblog is laid upwards to have postings yesteryear SMS, you lot may desire to modify the device that is registered, so the onetime possessor no longer has access. (Settings > Mobile and Email > Posting using SMS/MMS)

Custom URL:
If your weblog has a custom domain, together with so you'll almost sure enough desire to transfer command of this.

If you lot purchased the domain within Blogger, together with so you lot should have got set upwards a domain-administrator account shortly afterward registering the domain-name. The easiest choice is simply to tell the novel possessor the login hollo together with password for that account - together with tell them how to access it.

If the novel possessor doesn't desire to exceed away on the Google (ie goDaddy or eNom) link, together with so they tin log inwards to whatever domain registrar that they desire to use, together with asking a transfer.   You volition larn an e-mail together with demand to exercise unopen to things inwards answer to brand the transfer successful. Make you lot you read it carefully, because each registrar is different.

But I'm non currently sure if there's whatever means for the novel possessor to exceed away on the Google (goDaddy/eNom) link.

Items controlled exterior Blogger

Most blogs include unopen to items which are stored exterior Blogger. If you lot transfer the ownership of a blog, you lot may also desire to transfer these items, or at to the lowest degree brand a conception for what volition hand off to them.

I've pose notes almost a few that I know almost hither - If you lot know almost whatever others that are popular, delight larn out a comment below together with I'll update the list.

RSS Feeds created inwards Feedburner

To transfer ownership of an RSS feed, log into Feedburner, click on the Feed that you lot desire to transfer, together with click on the Transfer Feed link. You are prompted to move inwards an e-mail address, together with Feedburner nation that they volition contact that e-mail to adjust the transfer within 72 hours.

Photos / Images

Any pictures that you lot upload via Blogger are stored inwards a Picasa web-album that belongs to the draw of piece of occupation organisation human relationship that did the uploading. Unfortunately Google doesn't yet supply whatever means to transfer ownership of private web-albums. I don't (yet) know if the late introduced collaboration features help hither or not, but they may.

Also, pictures uploaded earlier Blogger started using Picasa-web-albums (possibly sometime inwards 2007 I think) cannot hold upwards transferred.

Calendars

If your weblog has a schedule inwards Google Calendars (even simply a posting schedule, which is alone used yesteryear the administrator) , together with so this should hold upwards checked to encounter if it needs to transfer.

Drive, Docs together with Sites files

If your weblog links to whatever files hosted inwards Google Docs or Sites file stores, together with so these are owned yesteryear the Google Account that created or uploaded them. Check amongst that site to encounter if it's possible to transfer.

Custom Maps

I don't intend that at that spot is whatever means to transfer ownership of these.

An choice is for the onetime possessor to supply the export file location (view the map, correct click on "view inwards google earth" together with pick out re-create URL), together with the novel possessor could together with so exercise a novel map (and pose this into the blog) - nevertheless this volition hold upwards a lot of run if may maps are used.

Custom-searches

I don't intend that at that spot is whatever means to transfer ownership of these.

Videos

I'm non sure if YouTube has a means to tranfer these from 1 draw of piece of occupation organisation human relationship to unopen to other - worse instance the onetime possessor may demand to download them together with brand the available for the novel blog-owener to re-upload together with pre-publlish.

Social Network sites

For illustration Facebook pages, Twitter accounts. (These may non hold upwards within the weblog at all, but may hold upwards a telephone commutation purpose of it's promotional tools - if you lot are taking over ownership of a blog, you lot volition in all likelihood desire to have got over these too.)

For items that cannot hold upwards transferred, you lot demand to transfer them manually (if this is possible), or to accomplish an understanding betwixt the onetime draw of piece of occupation organisation human relationship possessor together with the novel draw of piece of occupation organisation human relationship possessor almost what volition hand off to the items. For example, you lot may concur that the onetime draw of piece of occupation organisation human relationship possessor volition non delete the web-albums for 1 month, together with that they volition download the photos together with supply them on CD to the novel draw of piece of occupation organisation human relationship possessor - who volition together with so upload them, together with modify all the photograph links inwards the weblog to the novel URLs.

If your weblog has whatever advertising (eg AdSense, Amazon Associates, Chitika, or indeed any other advertiser) you lot may demand to transfer the draw of piece of occupation organisation human relationship that this is linked to.

For AdSense, if the advertising was laid upwards through Blogger, you lot tin modify the draw of piece of occupation organisation human relationship nether the Monetize tab. However if whatever ads were pose within private posts, these posts volition all have got to hold upwards edited, together with ad-units for the novel possessor volition demand to hold upwards added. (I don't intend you lot tin simply supplant the Publisher-ID, because the ad-unit has together with ID every bit well.

I'm non sure how sophisticated this is every bit yet: if you lot desire to exceed away on the advertising, rather than removing together with and so re-creating the advertising, it may hold upwards a skillful thought for the novel draw of piece of occupation organisation human relationship to laid upwards advertising accounts for itself on unopen to other (test) weblog first, together with and so switch it over inwards the weblog that's beingness changed, so that the existing ads/ad-structures are kept.

An option approach

Depending on how many items-outside-Blogger that the electrical flow draw of piece of occupation organisation human relationship owns, it may hold upwards ameliorate for the soul who owns the electrical flow draw of piece of occupation organisation human relationship to simply give it to the novel owner, together with to larn themselves a novel account. If you lot exercise this, you lot should also brand sure you lot audit who tin ship emails on behalf of the master account.

Even better: If there's a jeopardy that the weblog volition always modify hands, laid upwards a novel draw of piece of occupation organisation human relationship simply it when you lot start the blog. I'm going to write a whole post almost this 1 twenty-four hours before long - but for right away I'm convinced that you lot actually demand to intend almost the hereafter as before long every bit you lot start your blog.
