Last year, Blogger made an announcement that displeased a few Blogger weblog owners.

For a lay out of technical in addition to operational reasons, we’ve decided to in conclusion cease our back upwards for migrating legacy accounts in addition to blogs subsequently Dec 5, 2011.

The initial proclamation was made inward April, 2011, amongst an activity date, initially scheduled, good earlier Dec five - in addition to the activity engagement was delayed, several times. The quotation that you lot run across was edited past times Blogger Support, inward their article, repeatedly.

On Dec 6, 2011, back upwards for Legacy Blogger accounts in conclusion ended. Even so, nosotros all the same run across occasional signs of oblivious describe of piece of work organisation human relationship holders, inward Blogger Help Forum: Something Is Broken.

My describe of piece of work organisation human relationship doesn't direct maintain a Google address because it it is eight years former - how create I recover access to my account?

Apparently, non everybody who needed to create so, bothered to read the announcement.

Like the long announced FTP Publishing migration, Legacy accounts back upwards has ended. There's no known alternative, for Legacy accounts - nor is the condition of the accounts themselves - or the blogs, or of the URLs, owned past times the non supported Blogger accounts - known.

What does the higher upwards proclamation state? Simply, if

2. You never bothered to migrate your legacy account.
3. You travail migrating your legacy describe of piece of work organisation human relationship inward the future.
4. And you lot direct maintain a work amongst the migration.
5. Then, you lot are on your own.

Blogger is looking to the hereafter - in addition to needs to pass their fourth dimension to a greater extent than productively. They merely don't direct maintain fourth dimension to diagnose problems amongst private accounts that can't live on migrated, subsequently many months of warning, close this change, was provided.

6. Any URL, used past times a weblog owned past times a legacy Blogger account, volition live on made available to you.

None of the higher upwards were stated, inward the announcement. The proclamation states alone that migration back upwards has ended. Whether whatever of the higher upwards volition change, inward the future, can't live on predicted. We'll promise that some alert volition live on given, earlier whatever of the higher upwards change. Just don't bet whatever coin that alert volition live on given.

All that nosotros tin say, correct now, is
