Blogger is no longer going to allow blogs to be FTP'd to private servers. Sometime ago they setup custom domain service where the blog is actually hosted on their servers but a cname points to a private domain or subdomain. I use Blogger for my business blog-- and when I started had the address qisoftware.blogspot.com. somehow they gave that subdomain away even though I own the google account with the same name. I am a little put out by all of this. I am going to retire the blogger business blog sitting on my private domain however leave it in place. Then sometime in the future start another business blog-- will use Q's Wire in the meantime. I just wanted to scream about this for a moment. Okay-- I am good now. Q....
Its too risky always to rely on such free services. Nothing beats your own domain and hosting, specially when you run your business on it.
