I'm Back! I am finally able to publish to my site again! I made the switch to the "better" Yahoo! Small Business Web Hosting package a month ago and all of the sudden I couldn't make any changes to my site in Blogger. I tried all sorts of settings, but nothing worked. So frustrating! I figured it was my slow internet (yes, I am on dial-up... that's all that is available to me in my location), so I took a break until I was able to use high speed. Faster internet didn't help either. I wrote an e-mail to Yahoo! Customer Care and received no reply... surprise! After doing a bit of searching on Google, I found some helpful advice and voila...

These are the steps I followed
Create a new FTP username and password (under small business home/"manage" tab/password manager)--then click link to grant access to whole site

In blogger's FTP settings in the FTP Username field, input new username (tho, for me it had to be [email address]) and new password.

It worked and after all that negative energy, I think I want to switch hosts and try a different blog platform. So if anyone has had success with their host or blog and would like to share.. please do. :)

I'm going to away from the computer for the next few days. My son's birthday party is this weekend, so I'm running around preparing for it. Then we're taking him to the WEM water park on his actual birthday day next week and making cupcakes for his class (because everyone brings cupcakes in on their birthday). Then there is the after birthday clean up! Why do I clean the house for his birthday when right after the first couple kids show up it's all messed up???? Anyway no computer for me :)
