Change Gmail Address

Benjer · 8 Sep 2009, 08:38 PM

I have a Gmail address (let's call it GMAIL1 AT gmail. com) that is associated with a blog I have through blogger. With hotmail now only supporting POP3 with Entourage on Mac, I want to start using Gmail, but with a different Gmail address (we'll call this one GMAIL2 AT gmail. com). I know that I can't have more than one Gmail address on the same Google account. Normally, I would just start over with a new Google account and new Gmail address, but I want to take my blogger account with me and have my blog be on the same Google account with my new Gmail address. What specific steps do I need to take to do this?

Thanks in advance for your help!

When I moved Gmail addresses from Gmail1 to Gmail2, I added Gmail2's address to my blogger account as an owner. Then logged in to Gmail2 and removed Gmail1 as an owner, so that Gmail2 was the only person on my Blogger account. I hope that helps! It's a lot easier to move Blogger accounts than it is Google Docs (that requires some 3rd party assistance, I think!).

That worked perfectly. Thanks!
