    I have decided to change one of my blogs from a free blogger blog to a self hosted Wordpress blog.

    I have imported the posts but need to redirect the traffic. I found a plug in to do this but the instructions for the script to place on blogger are not clear.

    I have to place some JavaScript in the html code of the blogger blog after reverting to the classic template but I don't know exactly where to put it.

    The script begins with
    <html>
    <head>
    <script LANGUAGE="JavaScript">

    and ends with

    </body>
    </html>

    Can anyone help please?

    <meta HTTP-EQUIV="REFRESH" content="0; url=http://www.yourdomain.com/index.html">

    just put it at the very top of the page

    and also place html links in the header section to the new blog so google surely follows them

    The plug in redirects from post to post not just the first page of the blog (if I can get the code in the right place.)

    The simple redirect that you have suggested just directs to the home page I believe.

    I would probably loose a lot of traffic if they can't find what they were looking for.

    I just need to know where to place the code.

    thanks

    I've been wanting to do that with one of my blogger blogs for a long time, I had no idea it could be done. Can you share the link to the plug-in please?

    As far as I know meta refresh is the only way to redirect blogger because the system will remove javascript from your coding.
