Migration and WordPress

There's going to be a hiccup in my online presence at the beginning of May as Blogger makes a shift from supporting FTP file transfers to not doing so. As one of the half a percentage point of Blogger users who do use its FTP capabilities to run my website, this is going to cause some difficulties, which will necessitate a two-fold plan.

The first part of the plan is to do a very simple page forward to a blogspot.com account as of May 1st. Pointing your browser at www.christalbot.com will still work, but for a short while, my domain will exist only to forward everyone to a temporary location.

I say "temporary" because as I make plans for the end of FTP support on Blogger, I'm learning how to use WordPress to build a brand new site (one that will hopefully look much more attractive than this Blogger-based site). That leads me into the second part of my plan -- to build a new WordPress site that I hope will launch in May.

Wish me luck.
