- Now you'll be able to see the list of your blogs associated with that email.
- Click on the new blog you wanted to transfer subscriptions to. Then click on Edit feed details. Copy the URL from the Original Feed field.
- Now go to your old blog, click on Edit feed details and paste the copied URL in the Original Feed field. then Save feed details.
- After saving you will be shown the success status message saying "You have successfully updated the feed".
- Now click on Delete feed option in the old blog and tick the check box asking 'permanent redirection'. Then click Delete feed.
