Blogger/Blogspot redirect to own domain?

Question

How can I create a 301-Google friendly redirect to redirect visitors from a Blogger/Blogspot website to my own domain?

The visitors of the posts of the old domain:

http://example.blogspot.com/2014/03/blogpost-title.html

should be redirected to the new domain:

http://example.com/blogpost-title/

How do I do that with Blogger/Blogspot?

Edit: In the new domain I don't want to use blogspot - I use my own hosted WordPress instead.

In blogger dashboard's setting tab there is option for publishing where you can add your custom domains. Here is the nice post from google

Ajedi32 commented:

Just adding your target domain as a "custom domain" will set up the redirect, even if that domain doesn't point back to Blogger as the help page presumes it will.

@Torben I think just adding your target domain as a "custom domain" will set up the redirect, even if that domain doesn't point back to Blogger as the help page presumes it will. – Ajedi32 Dec 18 '14 at 01:59
@Ajedi32 it shows a warning if the domain is not served by blogger – digitalPBK Jan 19 '15 at 05:57
@digitalPBK: But it's just a warning right? So it still works? – Oskar Skog Jul 17 '17 at 07:40

@OskarSkog Yes if the end user clicks a link. It will not be a 301 redirect. – digitalPBK Jul 20 '17 at 10:29

The option that i want to suggest you is redirect your blogspot visitors to home page of your own blog.

Step-1

Go to blogger and login with login credentials.

Step-2

Click on “Template” from left side menu.

Step-3

Here you can see blog preview. Click on “Edit HTML”. In blog html paste below code in <head> tag and click on “Save template”.

Let have a look at below code.

<meta content='2;url=http://yourdomain.com/' http-equiv='refresh'/>

This is very simple. All that you would need to do is + "Set up a third-party URL for your blog". it is a link in the settings section of the blog. for detailed description follow my blog.
