FTP Problem and Blogging

FTP Problem
Blogging Problem with Tripod

I'm using the free webhosting service of Tripod for quite several years but just lately, I encountered some problems with its FTP feature with Blogger. Last week, when I was about to publish a few thoughts and photos, I was prompted with an error message that said my username and password (for FTP) is incorrect. I didn't encounter the same problem using FTP Commander - my reliable FTP client software. Much later, this is the error message I could encounter everytime I publish a blog:

Incompatability Problem?

Could it be an incompatability problem? I didn't encounter the problem way back when I was still using the older version of Blogger. My predicament just started when  I upgraded to the beta version of Blogger. It's hard to tell, actually. I am left with no choice but to think of a better solution myself.

Sentimentalist

I was already a Blogger user even before Google bought this blogging technology from Pyra. I had accustomed to its simplicity and versatility. I didn't think I can easily say good bye to the blogging software I loved the most.

The Solution

After some careful thoughts a  few sleepless night that passed, I decided to migrate to a new webhosting service instead of migrating to a new blogging software. Of course, I know Wordpress is also great, but given that my data are being taken cared of Blogger, that is already of advantage. I wouldn't want a corrupt-prone database-driven blogging software that I might mess up sometime in the future. Besides, I didn't know how to transfer all my Blogger files to Wordpress.
Now, I got a new web host, and a new domain, too! To sum it up, my blog can be found from a different location. Any blogs that may come after this one you're reading can no longer be accessed from https://canon300d.tripod.com/. Please find my latest blog from the link I provided below:
