FTP Publishing: No Error, But Posts Don't Publish

Various Bloggers are seeing problems with publishing by FTP to external web servers. In some cases, no error but the post doesn't show up in the blog. In other cases, the

FTPConnectionClosedException: Connection closed

message.

Let's try and look for a pattern.

What's the BlogSpot URL (if that option was provided when you setup your FTP publishing)?
What's the IP address or URL of the web server?
Who's the server provided by?

Adding A Link To Your Blog Post

Occasionally, you see a very odd, cryptic complaint I just added a link in my blog, but the link vanished! No, it wasn't your imagination.

What's The URL Of My Blog?

We see the plea for help, periodically I need the URL of my blog, so I can give it to my friends. Help! Who's buried in Grant's Tomb, after all? No Chuck, be polite. OK, OK. The title of this blog is "The Real Blogger Status", and the title of this post is "What's The URL Of My Blog?".

Add A Custom Redirect, If You Change A Post URL

When you rename a blog, the most that you can do, to keep the old URL useful, is to setup a stub post , with a clickable link to the new URL. Yo! The blog is now at xxxxxxx.blogspot.com!! Blogger forbids gateway blogs, and similar blog to blog redirections . When you rename a post, you can setup a custom redirect - and automatically redirect your readers to the post, under its new URL. You should take advantage of this option, if you change a post URL.
