...blogging newbie who's hitting her head on the keyboard in frustration...

I am trying to publish a blog through FTP to my website. When all was said and done (and believe me, I said alot, but I won't print it here), it said it published successfully. When I go to view blog, it takes me right to the webpage I want it to....but no blog. Hmm. A little help here would be mighty appreciated. Thanks, folks.

I've set up a website using "Build Your Own Website the Right Way," and they recommended Blogger...so here I am. I'm using the template from Blogger, and it comes up fine in "preview," but not on the Webpage. I have a funny feeling I'm missing a huge step in here somewhere....am I?

Who is your domain hosted with? Why don't you use Wordpress as your blogging platform?


See

How to install WordPress manually or using Fantastico

If you want to use Blogger see How do I setup an FTP (or sFTP) connection to my external web host?


Have you created a blog at blogger yet?

I may be wrong, but I thought Wordpress charged for going the FTP route? The site is through NetFirms, and Blogger is just the first one the book I'm using suggested. It also mentioned Wordpress. Are there major differences between Blogger and Wordpress?

I appreciate your help.

Not if you install the wordpress blogging platform. Did you read either of the links I provided?


I use Wordpress on my own site.
