Blogger Twilight Zone
I have in the past thought that, the only features that Blogger was lacking that I really missed were the ability to categorize posts and to set up feeds for the comments. So, when the new version of Blogger came out with these features now supported, I figured my blogging life was complete.
Unfortunately, in a twist of irony reminiscent of a Twilight Zone episode, the new version of Blogger is apparently incompatible with my domain host, so any new blog entries may never show up where you can read them. Likewise, you can post comments if you wish, but it is highly questionable if they will ever appear on the main blog entry.
If the situation doesn't resolve itself soon, I might have to switch over to WordPress (which is something I probably ought to do anyway, but I've been lazy about).
P.S. These changes might cause old posts to reappear in the feed stream -- my apologies in advance for any irritation this causes.

Please excuse my commenting on my own post -- I'm just testing to see if comments are functioning okay.
Hi Kurt ... hope you see this ... just testing for you to see if this is functioning okay.
Hi, and thanks. Well, things seem to be looking up. The problem with FTP publishing not working with certain web hosts finally made it onto Blogger's "Known Issues" list, so they're aware of it and are actively working on a solution. I was able to successfully republish the entire blog this morning, and your comment showed up quickly, so maybe things are now back to normal.
I wasn't even aware that there had been an ongoing problem, because it's been ages since I tried to post anything new. But there are messages pleading for help on Blogger's help forum going back over a month. Hmmm...if I had waited another week or so before trying to post something, I might not have even known there was ever a problem. Another side-benefit of being a procrastinator!
