Do you need to redirect your blog from Blogspot to Blogger using your custom domain? With some things pertaining to urls, I know just enough to be dangerous, and thought I would share with you what I goofed on last week. I’m referring to one of my blogs, which I already had established on my own domain, using the Blogger platform.

All was well until I tried to get creative and create a page using Google Pages, to use on my Blogger custom domain. To make a long story short, while attempting to create a url for a custom page I broke my blogger custom domain, which resulted in a 404 error. Oh, oh! Without thinking, I went into panic mode for fear that I wouldn’t get my blog back, so I went on over to the Blogger forum and posted, hoping someone would come to my rescue quickly!

Fortunately, help was on it’s way from a kind blogger who told me how to fix the mess I got myself into! The remedy was quite painless, and easy, and if I had only gone back into my Blogger dashboard I probably could have figured it out before I posted in the Blogger forum. But, you may know what it’s like when you panic! You don’t “think”! Well, at least I don’t – lol.

If you need to do a redirect from Blogspot to your custom Blogger domain, it’s easy and painless. Or, like me if you accidentally broke your Blogger site, you can revert back to the Blogspot url and then back again to your custom domain to hopefully fix a broken site, if you’re getting a 404 error. Special thanks to Chuck for kindly providing the tip to simply revert back to Blogspot, and then reset my redirect back to my custom domain to fix my 404 error. Thanks Chuck! :)
