I have PTSD I am done riding the treadmill you call old and new blogger... I have the new blogger set up and it would have been nice if your support staff was on the same page.. I did everything you asked including setting my security settings to accept all cookies and changed my security levels to the lowest settings. Which left me totally vulnerable by the way...
in creating my google account I had to change the name.. theres no way that I can figure this out.. dont suggest I go to another link.. cause Im so done.. I even tried to use my document feature guess what? it wont associate with my blog... and I dont care.. Im so frustrated and well, pissed. I spent way too much time when it should have been simple.. same email used... nothings changed except the google account but its associated with the same email..and works.. if you all can figure it out great... but Im done.. Shell
Yes I was angry and this is a duplicate post... but alot of folks are having the same issue.. is it possible that the yes blank screen is a smart ass google engineers way of saying ok your done with the switch and your blog is being processed? While running the treadmill screwing around this afternoon getting upset I noticed that my archive is no longer showing on the old blog does that mean its being "migrated"? shuffled or whatever is happening.. I think Im so used to having instantanius results I might be a tad impatient... and stressed.
I'd like to help you folks fix the issue as well. If I can provide some more information I'll recant and say I'm sorry for blowing up... I'm human... :)

Shell,
First, the migration from Classic Blogger to New Blogger (with Beta along the way) was a huge pain in the ass, but a necessary and beneficial one in the long run, for a lot of us. And my apologies for specifying additional reading for you (below), but I can't type but so much here.
Even though "accept all cookies" should NOT be a necessary, nor an effective, solution for anything, accepting cookies in general is NOT a security risk. Cookies are NOT evil in themselves, nor do they present a huge security risk. http://bloggerstatusforreal.blogspot.com/2006/03/cookies-not-always-t...
That said, I'm looking at your thread from 3/17, and suspecting that you should have done 2 things.
2) You need to clear, NOT to "accept all" both cookies and cache, simultaneously. Cookies and cache are not the same, yet they complement each other, and they must be, in your case, CLEARED at the same time, when you migrate. http://bloggerstatusforreal.blogspot.com/2006/08/bypass-or-clear-your...
Now I apologise for giving you additional reading to do, but this is reading that you need. Your problem has been seen here a lot recently, and these steps have been found to most frequently mitigate your symptoms.
Work on this with us, Shell. Your problems shouldn't be unsolvable.

It's fine to login to your blog, from any convenient website.
The cross frame scripting is the sticky part. You let Blogger.Com serve scripts (the Navbar, Photo Uploads, etc) that cross domains ("www.blogger.com", "www2.blogger.com", ...), because Blogger.Com only contains code that's produced by Blogger, and used to maintain the blogs. You have to trust Blogger.Com, or the Navbar won't work (this is where I started with the whole issue).
You do NOT let Blog*Spot serve scripts (or blogs) that cross domains, because Blog*Spot contains the blogs themselves. Bloggers (like you or me) are allowed to modify content in Blog*Spot.Com (as in, you can modify your blog). If you trusted Blog*Spot to serve scripts that cross domains, a hacker could serve you a malicious script that could pull up code from his private domain, when you surf to his blog, and your computer would become his ("0wn3d").
So, when you allow cross-frame scripts, only allow them for Trusted domains! And ONLY define "Blogger.Com" as a Trusted domain!
But it's fine to login to your blog from GMail, as long as you don't allow cross-frame scripts from Blog*Spot.Com, or Google.Com.
As far as the https issue, I'm not certain that Blog*Spot.Com (the blogs) use https. Blogger.Com may though. See if it works for you. Use what works.
LOL I am now the proud owner of two blogs ...but its done and I'll quit bothering you.. NOT Im sure I'll be back..with more questions ... like this one
