Lem bought for me www.imaginarydiva.com. I am planning to go live in the next few days.
I have been pulling my hair out with Blogger and their inflexibility to do certain things sometimes. Oh, like, for example, FTP servers. So, folks at home, read this first, before you go and move your publishing from Blogspot to your FTP or SFTP servers.
Lem told me that I should just have imaginarydivabc.blogspot.com forwarded to my server account. And of course my I'm-smarter-than-you-complex (another story, another blog) did not listen to him. He is always right you know. Sometimes that ugly complex of mine pops up at the most inconvenient time.
Instead, I changed my Blogger published access directly to my FTP server. When I did that all my new posts were not appearing on imaginarydivabc.blogspot.com. But it was appearing on www.imaginarydiva.com. I tried to go back and change my FTP access to Blogger / Blogspot, and it would not let me! It told me that the name was no longer available!
And I was thinking, how are my loyal fans going to find me now?? I've got to get a message to them somehow (yes, another story, another blog).
Of course, I had to blame Lem for that.... At midnight, when I'm not thinking straight. He's not thinking straight.
The good folks at Blogger Help Group did come through. I found a strain of help messages that let me fix the problem.
So, ladies and gentlemen, and fans of my blog, I am now back in service.
I do, however, have to make sure I give Lem a big apology. Wish me luck.

If you already have www.imaginarydiva.com up, why are you still using blogspot?
Just put a post saying this blog has moved. My new address is www.imaginarydiva.com
Oh wait! Lemmy told you to do that!
