If you want to start a new blog then go ahead and do that but <B>KEEP</B> your old blog! Start deleting the posts only on your old blog - that will give the search engines time to take your blog off their search engines. Once your blog has stopped being indexed by the search engines - then you can delete your old blog!Sister2brotherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07717579654875305377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4618324396844137612.post-33314310648302110002007-10-04T06:55:00.000-04:002007-10-04T06:55:00.000-04:00Hi.

I found your article quite relevant to my problem and I hope that you will have some insight on what the solution should be. <BR/>Basically, my entire blog was hijacked, with all my content removed and replaced by a porn site! When I tried logging in, I was informed that my blog was disabled, whereafter I had to request a review, etc.<BR/>However, this did not help. Although Google reinstated my blog, I was given a slightly different address and the hijackers now have my blog URL! Why would Google allow them to hijack and KEEP MY ADDRESS and give me a another? Mine now has a "2" beside the name.<BR/>Any thoughts?Right Stuffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12026112854295639467noreply@blogger.com
