Yes, I am still alive...web changes

It's been quite some time since I have posted to the blog. I have been busy with other things and not feeling inclined to write. I happened to check in to write a blog post for an Etsy team when I noticed that Blogger is discontinuing FTP publishing. I should explain that I only used Blogger to create my posts; the blog actually "lived" on my web host's servers, and I used FTP to upload the posts there when I published. So, with the disappearance of FTP, I was forced to choose between accepting a Blogspot.com address, or creating a custom domain. I won't go into the technical details, but upon closer inspection, when I tried to "migrate" my blog to a custom domain, I had trouble. I couldn't access the files at my web host that I needed to alter in order to finish the process. I would have had to email my host to change the files. To make life simpler, I decided to accept a Blogspot.com address for now, and work on creating a custom domain (no Blogspot in the address) later...or maybe even change blog host entirely.

So, if you follow my blog through an RSS feed, please change the link to http://thefiligreegarden.blogspot.com Or bookmark the new address in your favorite links. I believe the old address will work for awhile, but to make sure you can still see the blog, please change the link information.

I do promise to get back to posting! I've been weaving, trying new fiber arts, creating new flower jewelry, and (finally) working on my own, stand-alone website. No wonder I have not had any time to write for the blog!

Be back soon...
