FTP access for Blogger/Blogspot Accounts Going Away

So that means that my infinite wisdom to resort to a more custom approach via WordPress on the upcoming JKenMedia site was actually fortuitous. Of course this also changes my plans for keeping this blog active as a generic “life” blog. It will have to be reworked as well.

I’ll leave this up for the time being, but it will go away in the next month or so… With the only remaining option being to host blogs on a custom Blogspot domain, I will not be interested in continuing with this service. I actually just found out (realized the ramifications) about this and as I continue typing this note, I’m finding myself growing a little sad at the news. I’ve enjoyed this service within the limited fashion I’ve used it and can see the possibilities for others who have taken advantage of the full set of features it offers. This was also my first internet venture and my first experience with a blogging tool. It’s a little sad to see it going away in the capacity it once was. Of course if I only cared to have a blog sans other pages on my site, I suppose I could continue merrily with the custom domain hosted service they are opting for (never mind custom installations). But I don’t think that will suffice for me and I will move on to more robust offerings via WordPress.

I’m surprised how a little sad about this…
