the ramble dump

I decided to try out the FTP thing by temporarily putting the blog onto the Kommingle webspace. Supposedly, this would allow me to have it on the site, but I would still be able to update it through Blogger. I haven't managed it yet.

The settings for publishing and archiving are definitely right, because I've checked, double-checked and triple-checked, and made all the necessary directories on Kommingle, but each time I try to republish the thing, it's saying there's an error. The connection is refused for one of the archive pages.

On the Blogger help thing I found something that said it didn't allow active FTP any more, and I'm guessing that's why it's coming up with this same error over and over. But, being the ignorant soul that I am, I could be wrong.

I've tried STFP. This is supposed to be the more secure option, but I can't get this to work either. It's stuck on 'Files published... 0%', and the page has been refreshing for ages. I did a little research, and it could be because it's a very slow process (I think Kommingle has to receive one block of data at a time or something similar), or it could be that the webhost, Rydia, doesn't support it, although this is very unlikely.

So...a little disappointing. I was hoping to get my head around that today, but never mind.
