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.

Referer Spam Is Annoying - And, It's Persistent

Recently, we've seen a few blog owners who are curious about odd trends in their Stats displays. My numbers seem to go up steadily for a while, then drop. Then, they go up again, for a while, then drop again. Rises and falls in traffic are normal. You'll never have the same number of people, viewing your blog, constantly. During some days and some hours, our readers are going to be elsewhere, and not viewing our blogs.

Jump Break Is Visible Only In An Index Page

Some blog owners are unsure what a Jump Break looks like, when applied to their blogs. Occasionally, in Blogger Help Forum: Get Help with an Issue , we see the confusion. Where's the Jump Break? or I added a Jump Break to several posts, but it never shows up! When asked for a screen print of what they're seeing, they may provide a image of the post, in the Post Editor Preview window - or possibly, the published post, but in post page view.
