My only remaining questions are: HOW LONG DID THE CHANGES TAKE TO PROPAGATE for you? And was it important that the first step be to enter the domain in Blogger PRIOR TO updating the DNS with netsol? *Many, many thank yous!* This has been super helpful – you're the only one who outlined this for netsol with any clarity.

As far as the archives go, all of my archives and associated data was automatically moved over and in place in the new Blogspot location. The current blog archive files should also remain on your server (wherever you currently publish to via FTP), but you should back up your blog, either via the Blogger Dashboard or via FTP download, before the move just to be safe.

Another thing you can do if you really want to be cautious. Create a new test blog, using FTP publishing. Do some dummy posts, move that blog to Blogspot first, to make sure you understand the process and the results.

If you have pages on your current server that are not blog post pages, you will have to add them manually after the move. See the discussions about my “song pages” in the update linked above in this comment.

How do you transfer all your archives to the new<br>updated blog? I'm in the same boat. How do you transfer all your archives to the new

Or does that happen somehow automatically? For my wife's blog I need to be sure all past posts are still there when it comes over to Google.
