So few people use the ftp functionality of Blogger it’s no wonder they are stopping that part of the service.

This is a good piece of writing, I was wondering if I could use this blog post on my website, I will link it back to your website though. If this is a problem please let me know and I will take it down right away.

Google has made a terrible mistake and will only realize the impact of this mistake in the future. Google wants us to to move to cloud computing but I’m only going to move to cloud computing on the premise that If we set up something now Google will support in the future. However this blogger fiasco has proven that Google will not do this, so why would I be stupid enough to trust them with a core business process or data.

FTP is an old technology but I’m sure they could have come up with an alternative solution that would have met the needs of current FTP users.

To be fair they did give 6 months notice which is a reasonable amount of time.

Moving to WordPress, Google lost another one.

I’m planning to cut and paste the blogger templates and recreate the look and feel of my html blog. My blog should look more or less identical to what it is currently, and I’m going to change the weekly archive URLs to something more SEO friendly.

I figure an hour or so extra work a month to cut and paste.

As I understand it, moving to Google hosting will really impact your site ranking, seo and stats. I don’t see the upside of staying with blogger.

Looking for other solutions, but might just go with WordPress. Definitely will not stay with blogger.

So if you have a full HTTP site that you want to embed a blog into (i.e. not just a dedicated blog site) can anyone recommend the best way of achieving this? (i.e. hosting the rest of the content on your own server while linking transparently to your blog page on another)?

Very annoyed about this, especially as this article is the only one that managed to explain what was happening in a way I could understand.

I run three blogs, all of which are ftp and part of other sites so I will be moving them all to WordPress.

Is there any software that can do the publishing like blogger? It should be great if I can find one. Otherwise, WordPress should be a good alternative.
