Publishing your blog is taking longer than expected.

Blogger.com goes spastic now and again. For the last few days, I have been unable to (re-)publish this blog, due to a mysterious "Publishing your blog is taking longer than expected." After that, I get a twitchy "Your blog published with errors." page without mention of what the particular errors are.

Needless to say, this has all been working for years without change.

I fixed the ftp path – somewhere was a mention that it must not be absolute. It had to be changed in several places for the blog pages, the atom and rss files and the blog archives. I had to keep clicking that "To continue waiting for it to finish, click here" link, but it still didn't work.

Some sort of error message sure would be helpful.

Meanwhile, I am about to give up on this ftp stuff and have blogger host the blog itself. I'll have to do a little magic to make it integrate nicely with the site, but how hard could it be?
