Blogger Custom Domain Name Publishing works much faster than publishing with FTP especially when blogs get very large in the number of files. Use a subdomain name with a Cname record following the Google DNS procedure on your domain name for custom domain name publishing. Keep your old blog alive and give a new link with your new blog address at the top. Use this option if you still want to publish your website on the main domain name.
An example of this would be. www.yourwebsitename.com for the old FTP blog. Create a new Cname record for blog.yourwebsitename.com. Publish to blog.yourwebsitename.com using Blogger Custom Domain name publishing. Create a new post at the old blog with a link telling your readers to go to the new blog address.

R.I.P.
Working on a buddy’s Dell XPS R450 with Windows ME loaded. The last time it had a successful boot was probably two years ago. Could not boot from CD either. I think there was a motherboard failure.
Gave him the bad news. Time to send it to the graveyard.
Took out the 13 Gigabyte Hard Drive (can you say bad luck), and wiped it out with a complete reformat to NTFS; going to make use of this as a complete disk image for another computer that has Windows 2000 Professional installed. It will be an emergency cloned image at this point in time. Needed a little over 10 GB with this virgin system to begin with.
Worst case scenario is, if there is ever a complete hard drive failure, this drive could be plugged in this computer, and be back up and running at this point in time, with all the current software installed and orignial documents on this computer machine. Note: It is still a good idea to use some sort of regular backups with all computers today. Here is some good information on what software to use for backups and how to upgrade your hard drive.
Can’t think of much other use for this small a hard drive though. I predict in two or three years we will have 20 GB USB memory sticks.
So, say goodbye to the old, and say hello to the new.

I hate days like this. It seems like you can never fix what you started working on. You start in on one thing, and discover ten other things that are wrong. Very very frustrating. Talk about killing time. It seems like 12 hours can go by in a flash, and believe me it was is not fun.
Dealing with email issues. Dealing with formmail issues. Dealing with FTP issues. Dealing with SFTP issues. Shall I go on.
No, let’s see what tomorrow brings. Hopefully it will be a brighter day.
