Mommy has a work question...
I am allowing her to ask the question on MY blog just this one time. (I better get some bonus treats out of Mommy fur allowing her to use MY blog on her behalf!!! I guess Mommy should give Benji some bonus treats too -- because if she doesn't, he usually ends up stealing some of mine.)
Mommy was curious if anyone ever changed the e-mail address they use for Blogger.
Mommy has a Blogger blog for her work. It is set up under her work email.
Mommy was just told her work email is not going to be active after July 31st. They are supposed to switch emails to something else because of tons of SPAM, etc... so it will be a totally different email address starting in August.
She is trying to figure out how this email change is going to affect the blog she set up for work.
She did a quick internet search, and she found this article -- and now she is paranoid about if she changes her email address the wrong way -- she could end up losing all the stuff she has in that blog.
Has anyone ever tried to change their blogger blog login email to a different email address?
Even if you never did try to change your email address -- thanks fur reading this email anyway.
Lassie and Benji and Mommy
I've never changed mine. I don't even want to think about changing my internet service provider as my e-mail is so tied to so many things I do online not just blogging. Good Luck, let us know how things work out.
ReplyDeleteDear Lassie and Benji's mom.
ReplyDeleteFreya (CAT FLAP CAVALIER) has her own email address which I can switch back to our normal email address for Soggibottom. Okay can be a bit confusing, but still think you will be okay to change Lassie and Benji's blog to another email address.
Love to the two adorable fluffy guys. :-) x x x
Luv's Freya Rose Blossom CAT FLAP CAVALIER ... good luck mom X
ReplyDeleteI have 3 different emails - I just linked them all to one account though.....and with google there is just a drop down menu that you can switch between one to the other
ReplyDeleteSeems like it should be an easy switch...but reading that article does sound a bit scary! Hopefully those instructions work for you!
ReplyDeleteGood luck and we hope it goes smoothly. Sorry we are no help and the staff here are a bit thick. Have a fabulous Friday.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes Molly
Mom changed the email that our comments go to, but we have not ever changed our Google log in email. we think you should be able to though, just saying

It sounds like you want to add the new email, follow the directions for establishing the new email as legitimate and determine that you can in fact get to and from the blog before deleting the old email. It almost sounds like its a safety feature to avoid someone taking off with your Blog. Haven't tried to do it, but if I'd add the second email and work on making sure it works now before the old one dies. As long as you can access it from the new one, you shouldn't be in danger of losing your blog and you still have the old log in until it dies.
ReplyDeleteI changed. I didn't lose anything but wherever you change it to you are going to get a TON of spam like they were getting at your work and like what I get.
ReplyDeleteSorry, we haven't changed out e-mail since becoming bloggers. Looks like a few comments have advice. All we can say is Good Luck.

I'd dod what Bailey suggests - get a new email as an extra, check for a while that it really works, then try changing to it. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteI'm not on blogger and we still have mom's one and only mailthingy. maybe there is a faq or a support button for where you can ask before you change the addy?
ReplyDeleteOh dear I hope you can get it figured out because I don't want to not be able to find you. I have no advise. Sorry
ReplyDeleteThanks for being a friend

Oh no Lassie and Benji, that is quite an issue! So sorry we can't offer any advice but we really hope your mom can figure out a way to make it all work.
ReplyDeleteWill they be forwarding your email from your old address to a new one? That may buy you some time.
ReplyDeleteNever tried to do this but think you should definitely try the additional email thing soon to see if that helps. Doesn't blogger have a help team?
ReplyDeleteI'm such a total tech-know-not, I haven't a clue. Sure hope someone can help out. I can't imagine there isn't some way to do it without losing content.

Mommy is not very good with these things, but I hope you can figure it out.

We have never switched but hopefully it will work out for you. Id say set one up and make sure it works before you delete the old one and maybe back up the stuff on your blog just in case.
