We've been giving you warnings. The signs have been there. Preparations have been made. Now, it's time!
That's right, it's time to embrace the new version of Blogger! Starting today, a small percentage of users who log in to an old Blogger account will be required to move to the new version. This involves moving your current Blogger account to a new or existing Google Account. After the move, you will need to log in to Blogger with your Google Account username, which is always the email address associated with your account. If you're one of the lucky folks who is prompted to move your account over to the new version of Blogger, you'll be able to postpone this process once (and only once) if you *really* need to get a post out of your head or want to say goodbye to the old Blogger. After that, it's time to befriend the new Blogger!
In an effort to make this move go as smoothly as possible, here's a list of things to keep in mind:
- You will need a Google Account to which you can move your old Blogger account. If you don't already have an account, you can create one here: https://www.google.com/accounts/NewAccount (You'll also be able to create a Google Account when you start to move your Blogger account.) - After moving your account to the new version of Blogger, you'll use your Google Account to access your blogs. That means, you'll select the "New Blogger" sign in option on the Blogger homepage, and then log in with your Google Account username, which is always the email address (i.e.: [email address]) associated with your account. - If you're a member of a team blog, please read this article to find out what will happen to your team blog when you move to the new version of Blogger: http://help.blogger.com/bin/answer.py?answer=55062 - If you think you've moved over to the new version of Blogger but aren't 100% sure, check out this article for a quick tip on how to find out which version of Blogger your blog is on: http://help.blogger.com/bin/answer.py?answer=58777 - If you log in to your account and your blog doesn't show up in your dashboard, don't panic. First, try logging in to your old Blogger account (Remember to try ALL old Blogger accounts). Next, are you sure which Google Account you used? Give them all a try. - If you still run into difficulties with your move, don't fear, we've got plenty of other resources to help you out! If you don't find an answer here in the Help Group or on the Help site ( http://help.blogger.com/ ), go ahead and send your question in to The Blogger Team: http://www.blogger.com/problem.g
Lastly, if you find yourself continuing to experience difficulties accessing your blogs (AFTER looking for help on your own), I encourage you to write in to The Blogger Team. Since login-related issues often involve divulging personal account information, it's best for everyone involved to handle such cases on an individual basis with The Blogger Team.
