Google and the Moving Blog

So any of you who have your own blog and use FTP to publish to a private domain know that Blogger (owned by Google) is deprecating support for FTP on May 1st because of lack of use.

What the heck does that mean?

It means I just spent the last 3 hour rebuilding the blog manually (without the fancy migration tool Google so kindly gave us), setting up a blogspot host, changing the CNAME DNS record for the subdomain "blog.ourlittleladybug.com", and rebuilding all the lost file links to the old website.

Why did I tell you this? Because I thought you deserved to know how hard it was. Especially since I did half of it through my Motorola Droid in the middle of a Financial Markets and Institutions class.

So sit back, relax, and enjoy KaityBug's 7 month picture. It was 7 months her work and 3 hours of mine in the making. I'm going to sleep.

  5. I think it means you should be hosted on my server at the datacenter so you can stop having problems like this...
