10/19/2019, 11:46 AMPlease bear with me if this sounds very naive/obvious. If I move my personal blog from Blogger to Wordpress can I setup an auto redirect for the older blogspot post queries as the traffic is driven by few pages and I don’t want to lose it ( also reason for why I didn’t move so long) ?

10/19/2019, 4:17 PMYes. I did the exact same thing some years ago. You need to put in a JavaScript redirection. I haven't used blogger in years - but I remember they allow you to put in html / js script somewhere.

<script>
location.href = 'new blog location';
</script>

10/19/2019, 4:25 PMThank you @loud-glass-33663. Will check this out. Did you eventually kill your first blog and after what duration ?

10/19/2019, 4:31 PMNo. It’s still around. I don’t recollect the url though but I saw it recently and the redirection still works. It has a message which says: “This is now redirected to the following url” and it redirects after 5 seconds.
