The archives are updated. It wasn't easier than I expected... until I got it done. I'm sure my dad knows what I'm talking about.

The trouble was that I have my FTP settings (so the server folder path) for Blogger defined in one part of the settings and I was trying to re-state the folder structure in the archive settings. Blogger didn't like that and wasn't creating archives.
So, the easy part was changing it to just a relative path from where my blog.html page resides.

Except that, I couldn't get the URL path upto my archive folder working. Blogger says it will append the archive file name to the path I provide, but it wasn't. So, I just had to copy all the archive pages the system created and paste them into my main folder. I was really hoping to keep these in a sub-folder, but that doesn't look like it's going to work. Oh well.

Anyway, you can now go back through all 3 glorious years of my postings.
