Since you do not have access to Blogger's server, the only way is to create a re-direct.
First, I would make a statement on your old blog, making visitors aware of the new blog, ask them to update their bookmarks, and let them know the new URL.
Then update the HTML in the <head> section of your blog.
You can access this through the Blogger Dashboard. Go to "Layout" and then "Edit HTML".
Somewhere between the <head></head> tags, insert the following code:
where "http://newURL" is the URL of the page to which you want visitors re-directed, and "content="5" tells the server to wait 5 seconds before re-directing visitors to the new site. You could change this number to another value if you like.
Then Save the Template.
That takes care of traffic.
Now you still have to try to re-gain your PR.
You could try to get Google to remove the old site from its cache. And you should try to discover all links to the old site, and ask the authors of those links to edit them as appropriate.

Using meta refresh won't going to pass the full link juice towards your new blog, you have to put a permanent 301 redirect in order to obtain the full ranking juice. Before doing that publish a post on your blog mentioning about your new blog and appealing users to update their bookmarks and link backs and also mention the last date of redirecting. Publishing a post will help you get your message out to your subscribers as well. And users will be aware about the last redirection date.

That's correct. However, since it is a Blogger blog, and the OP doesn't have direct access to Google's servers, as far as I know the only option is to use the meta refresh option. To try to re-gain the PR juice, the OP would have to try to get Google to remove the old site from its cache.
Although the topic is about transferring to a WordPress blog, I think the information would also be applicable to a transfer to any site.
Google dot what?
