Introducing The Film Frontier's backup blog

posted by Tygrrius @ 8:34 AM

It appears that Blogger FTP, which allows blog uploads to domains like http://www.thefilmfrontier.com/, has been offline since last week. This is affecting thousands of blogs across the Web. With no known acknowledgment from Blogger on this issue, I've decided to create a "Site B" blog for The Film Frontier.

The backup blog, hosted directly with Blogger's Blogspot, will allow postings on The Film Frontier to continue until Blogger resolves their FTP mess. Since Blogger FTP is a lot more erratic than Blogspot, I'm sure this blog will come in handy more than once. Plus, this will give me a place to post if The Film Frontier exceeds its monthly bandwidth again and http://www.thefilmfrontier.com/ goes offline.

This "Site B" blog will fill in for the News, Reviews, and Proverbial Galaxies blogs, rather than handling them separately as on the main site. Content posted there will eventually make its way here to The Film Frontier's main blogs.

The "Site B" blog won't be an exact mirror of content on The Film Frontier, though. I'm not going to copy older posts over there at this time. I'm not sure if I'll continue posting there when Blogger FTP and http://www.thefilmfrontier.com/ are fully operational. We'll see. This opens a number of new possibilities, but I want to try these things out first.
