FTP Publishing, With Attachments

Blogs published using FTP have always provided a challenge for Blogger Support, as well as for their owners. This week, the complaint level, in general, is a bit lower than immediately previous.

There is a current, new frustration many bloggers are dealing with, when publishing by FTP - publishing with attachments, such as photos and videos.
Your publishing is taking longer than expected.


One blogger has done some analysis of the symptoms, and has provided an (apparently necessarily) intricate workaround for the problem.
I have figured out that the current failure is *after* the images (& hopefully same for video) are uploaded. The files have been ftp-ed but the names of the files are never added to the blog entry for you.


Meanwhile, back at Google, I have word from the guys who make it all work
we're certain it's something on our end so we are working to fix it


So despite any authoritative forum updates by a Blogger Employee, the problem is known and is being diagnosed.

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.
