I have a blogger.com blog that covers a variety of topics, including PC troubleshooting tips. I've decided to start a dedicated PC troubleshooting blog, using a different blogging service. I want to move some of those PC troublehshooting posts from the old blog to the new blog. I want people who end up at the old posts via search engines to be automatically redirected to the posts on the new blog.

  • I know I can easily redirect the entire blog to an external blog, but I don't want that. I want to preserve the old blog, but just relocate some of its posts to the new one.
  • I know I can redirect individual blogger.com pages to other pages within the same blog, but I don't want that either. I want to redirect to an external URL.

I can add html code to blog posts in blogger, but I think it only accepts code that goes into the {body} section. Perhaps my problem boils down to two questions:

  • is there a way to edit the {head} section of a blog post without doing it for the entire blog?
  • is there a way to do an automatic redirect using code that you put in the {body} section?

It wouldn't be a 301 redirect, but you could put this code inside your body:

<script type="text/javascript">
    window.location = "http://myblog.blogger.com/mypost";
</script>
