How To Create Custom Redirects for Blogger Post ?

Yesterday i wrote a post on editing blogger post URL, and i was mentioned to write down the posts old URL before changing to a new one .Because, if the post you are decide to change the URL is an old one there is chance that the old URL may be indexed in search engine or in social website like Facebook or Twitter or GooglePlus. Because of that there is a chance to lose the visitor coming from those sites as the URL will give a does not exist error ! Here comes the importance of Custom Redirects.

Custom Redirects will help us to redirect the user from those old URL to the new URL. This post describe the steps to create a Custom Redirect in Blogger. Just follow the steps below.
