We’ve had enough!

by Brian McKim & Traci Skene on May 18th, 2010

We’re leaving Blogger.

They have screwed us over.

We can’t access any of our files since they forced us to migrate to their servers.

On May 1, they stopped supporting FTP. We’ve been using FTP since we hooked up with Blogger back in 2004.

None of our image files are visible to visitors (they’re all broken links, except for any images that are hosted elsewhere), and none of the hundreds of .htm files that we’ve created over the past eleven years– our interviews, our online press kit, our various other files– are visible or reachable.

So… we’re screwed… unless we dump Blogger overboard, switch the DNS numbers back over to Hostgator and figure out a way to blog without the use of Blogger.

We’ve already done the first part (switching the DNS numbers back the way they were), and we’re in the process of figuring out how to retain the look of the website and maintain the ability to easily and quickly blog. That’s going to take some time and effort. In the meantime, we’re crippled but we’re fighting back.
