This may not be the place, but here goes. I had a blogger (myname.blogspot.com) and moved to wordpress. I imported my blogspot to wordpress. Can I now delete the blogspot? I have like 4 blogs, and am slowly adding them all to wordpress, the few missing days, and having it all in one spot and deleting old blog. Can I delete blogspot blog and the imported (archive) entries still be in the wordpress blog? I have a question. This may not be the place, but here goes.

But since you've mentioned that it's a browser-specific problem, it has to be something IE has ruined (or, as my software engineer dad would say "horked up"). I would think that Google should be working on this, though you've noted that they know about the problem and apparently think it's fixed. Your best bet there may be to log a support ticket (or eight) if you haven't already. I'm concerned with the search engine indexing problem as well. Did I read correctly in the Google Groups thread that the redirect works automatically for post pages but not for the main page, or does it not work automatically at all? Did the meta refresh help with the IE issue? If so, that's probably the best you'll be able to do for now. While it's not the ideal solution as far as SEO goes, Yahoo and Google have apparently said that it's okay (see Sebastian's Pamphlets http://sebastians-pamphlets.com/google-and-yahoo-treat-undelayed-meta-refresh-as-301-redirect/ ).

And I don't think that's it, because that wouldn't explain the different behavior in Internet Explorer and Firefox. I'll also swear that something has changed recently, because I did this around 6 months ago without this issue. I do not recall having to click anything in Firefox to be redirected, so I'm positive that part is new. And if you're right, this might be Google's way of keeping folks with Blogger, forever. Or it's simply a bug and no one at Google is addressing it. The thing that troubles me, is that when I did this 6 months ago, since the redirect (in Firefox) was automatic, I was pretty confident that all the Google indexed pages would be pointed to the new domain. Now that you have to click something for the redirect to work, I'm wondering if this is still the case. Again, this might signal the end of being able to move from Blogger to WordPress (hosted independently). What are your thoughts? Hi Jordan,

I've been having a lot of problems with this same redirect, which I'd had in place for more than a year (so much so that I'm considering labeling this entire article deprecated). I also think it may have something to do with Google finally checking to see if the DNS nameservers are pointing back to them, something they didn't used to do. Did you have the subdomain nameservers pointing back to Google while you were using the .htaccess fix? I think the meta refresh that you mention in that Google Groups thread may be the only solution.

We want to direct folks from example.blogspot.com to mydomain.com, and if we use the built in redirect in Blogger, the articles redirect, but the blog's home page doesn't.
