In our subject Comp02, we made a site in blogspot.com, now that we are finished with our blogspot, our instructor told us to create a new site in wordpress. I was like “no way, how about our daily visitors? are we going to promote our new site again?” then it hit me, what if I can redirect my old site “http://bluesoul37.blogspot.com” to “https://callingangel.wordpress.com”
The simplest way to do this is to use the <meta tag>. To do this:
1.> Go to your old site, then go to settings, click layout, then click edit html
2.>In your <head> tag, insert this code:
<meta content=’5;url=new_site_name’ http-equiv=’refresh’ />
content has 2 parts separeted by semicolon (;), 1st is the number, 5 represents the amount of time in seconds before the viewer of your old site will be redirected to the new site. The second part is the url of your new site.
3.>Lastly you have to save your settings and you are done.
There are more ways of redirecting site but I haven’t mastered them yet so I’ll stop here.
There you go, you don’t have to promote your site all over again, your old fans or viewers will be redirected automatically to the new site.
If you have question just leave your questions in the comment box.
