You moved to your hot new site… but you don’t want to abandon your older blog via Blogger. And you wanted to use your blogs as a fallback website,–if you were announcing current issues. Within this tutorial, I’ll show you 3 ways to repurpose your Blogger blog.
Write A Status Report
If you were going to let your visitors know what’s exactly happening on your self-hosted website. Whether if you were fixing an issue, maintaining, updating, or even adding features with your site. SoundCloud is the known streaming site where audio files were uploaded by everyday users around the world. They have their very own status blog where they can tell you what’s exactly happening with their service itself. You can take a look of their site for example here. You can think about how do they actually do it!
To do this:
Go to blogger.com and go to any of your blogs what you want to repurpose. Be sure none of your blogs has been deleted via Blogger’s VAGUE Terms Of Service. Always take extreme caution when planning to repurpose your website.
Watch out! Blogger has a vague content policy that is causing Blogger itself to dictate what content is allowed to be monetized on Blogger.
Once you chosen a blog to repurpose for your newly established website, start cleaning up your old blog.
Revert some of your posts to draft, and write new ones to start write status updates for your self-hosted website.
If you want your older blog to be connected to your domain… you need to be comfortable with editing your DNS records/zones.:
Go to your hosting panel, and create a cname record. This is necessary for your blogger blog to be pointed to your subdomain of choice, and save your settings.
Go to your Blogger control panel, and change your URL address to a subdomain URL what you just created. Fill out the field, and save your settings.
You need to wait for your settings to fully initialized.
Open your blog to test. If it works; you are done.
Creative Writing Via A Different Category
You can set your Blogger blog to have fictional stories… like classic stories from your imagination. If you wanted to write fictional stories for children and adults of all ages, you need to do your homework when writing your posts on your site. But watch out for these copyright trolls because, they’re notorious for fraud.
Say if you had a blog where you set aside classic stories, and you had other Blogger blogs containing your own unique content what you own yourself. You wanted children to read your posts that will make their imagination change over.
This is useful if you wanted to provide educational content that is included in your fictional stories. For this instance; you write a story about an elephant who wanted to be freed from a cruel circus. And you wanted to prevent elephants from being exploited. You also placed ads on your website that is relevant to protecting our elephants from being poached. If you were new to writing fictional blogs, here’s how to write a fictional blog.
Its always a good idea to write your fictional stories from scratch because, you don’t want to violate anyone’s copyright. If you were adapting content that is in the public domain… be sure to go to the reputable directories to get public domain content to reuse. Always write your own unique content by 400%; but you can integrate public domain content within your story.
Follow these steps to write your posts as a single book, or chapters in a book:
-
Think up a title for your blog itself, post, or label. Be sure to give it a title for your fictional story.
- If you are giving your blog a title; give it a title of your story,–kind of like of a book.
- If you were just making long posts, title each post with a creative title. Divide your blog into a set of topics for your readers. Like organizing a binder, you place each of your work in each subject of your assigned work. And unlike traditional binders; you rely on arranging posts with a time format. This is useful if you wanted to keep your posts arranged like a book.
- If you had multiple subjects with posts as chapters in a book; use one label per set of posts. You may need to group them together.
- Try to write as much as you can, and backup your posts, and pages. This is useful if you wanted to migrate to a reputable host,–if Blogger has caused these issues.
- Publish on a regular basis. If your blog has reached up to a total of 100 posts; you may need to review and update these posts,–if needed. This is useful if you want to make your posts longer. Longer posts can take up more readers than shorter posts.
- Always monitor your blog for possible signs of illegal deletion. If your blog was illegally deleted by Blogger itself, you may need to complain it to your experienced legal team… or sue, and file a lawsuit.
