Understanding

I was just talking to Mia about my continued frusteration about nothing getting comments to show up on my blog.

She came and looked at my Template, which is still old-school Blogger style, even though I upgraded when Google took over.

She pointed me to a post on the dashboard page (which I generally ignore) and now I think I understand it. Since I started blogging before you could set a custom domain through blogger, and I didn't want tenfootrabbits.blogspot.com instead of integrated into my site, I've been FTPing my blog posts over to my web host for publishing.

This means that most of the work is seamless, I can still use the Blogger interface, but that's why I have to create my own Archive pages and why I can't get comments.

Now that Google will let you point to a custom domain, but still host your blog with them, I might move to that system. The archives will remain here if I do that, while and the blog will move to a sub-domain address. Overall though, I think that it will be worth it.

P.S. I was going to post some video tonight, but as you can see I got busy talking about other things. I'll do some this weekend.
