Redirect Your BlogSpot Blog (or Any Blog-Post) To Some Other Blog/Webpage

[Blogger_Meta_Redirection.jpg]This tutorial will help you to redirect your blog or any particular blog post to any other web address (a blog, website or a webpage).
You can do this redirection by adding a single line of code to your blog. This is called Meta-Redirect (also meta-refresh).

Live Example:
http://Google.BlogSpot.com redirects to http://GoogleBlog.BlogSpot.com

Instructions To Follow:

STEP #1
Log in to Blogger, go to Layout -> Edit HTML

STEP #2
Now find this code:

<head>
And immediately BELOW/AFTER this code, add this one:
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="3; url=http://bloggerstop.net/" />
And save the template.
Now, your blog will now redirect to BloggerStop.net after 3 seconds (3 seconds countdown will start only after your blog has been completely loaded).

When and How to use it:
1. If you have two blogs, and want to use only one blog, then you can redirect all the traffic of Blog-2 to Blog-1, and keep blogging at Blog-1. This will get you some additional traffic.
2. If you are working on your blogs template/any widget, then temporarily redirect your blog traffic to an under-construction webpage. [In this case, apply this redirection to all but one page of your blog, where you can work and see the changes you are trying to implement - see MODIFIED CODE #1]
3. If you have updated an old post with a new one, then you can update your older post with a message similar to this one: You will be redirected to the newer/updated version of this post in 5 seconds and then redirect the readers to the updated post. [see MODIFIED CODE #2]

MODIFIED CODE #1
Redirect all your blog pages EXCEPT one page/blog-post:
Use this code instead of that in STEP #2
<b:if cond='data:blog.url != "SPECIFIC_BLOG-POST_URL"'>
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="3; url=http://bloggerstop.net/" />
</b:if>

MODIFIED CODE #2
And use this code, to Redirect ONLY a particular post to some other post.
<b:if cond='data:blog.url == "SPECIFIC_BLOG-POST_URL"'>
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="3; url=http://bloggerstop.net/" />
</b:if>
