Shift Blogger Blog from One Google Account to Other

Posted By Zeeshan On 1:37 PM Under

One of my visitor ask me a Question that how can we shift a Blogger blogspot blog from one Google account to other ? so I figure out the trick or way to do so. Blogger allows you to invite up to one hundred (100) authors to contribute to the blog. Admin privileges will remain with the Google account which creates the blog for the 1st time. These authors can write the posts but can not access the posts by other authors and also can not access the settings and template of the blog. In short the authors can only create and edit their own posts. But the administrator of the blog can give admin privileges to any other author of the blog. We can use this method to shift Blogger blog from one Google account to other account.
