Blogger is changing from own domain hosting to CNAME redirecting

For years we have been using Google Blogger thats is a great simple and easy-to-manage blog tool. Mostly we have used it for travel blogs and implementation for our partners in order to participate in the online social networking and share their experience and expertise.

Blogger is finally stopping their FTP blog to domains owned by their members. Instead they offer a much better option where the blog till can use he same address but not if it has been a folder published after the domain name, such as www.website.com/blog/.

Google are instead offering the CNAME redirecting option to a sub-folder on your owned domain name so it will look like blog.website.com. Considering its much better in many ways yo ucan still redirect your old blog with a 301 in your hosting control panel.

The fact that Blogger ws a very slow publishing tool was driving me crazy but now its published and edited in seconds and so easy to use and manage.

Our new blog was earlier published at xhtml.gr/web-design but as I write this article everything is moved to our new blogger CNAME redirection at http://onlineconsulting.xhtml.gr.

Information about the changes are to be found at Blogger.
