Blogger will stop support for FTP publishing after March 26, 2010.

<<In evaluating the investment needed to continue supporting FTP, we have decided that we could not justify diverting further engineering resources away from building new features for all users.>>

Well, this day finally came. Since Blogger use XML template, many features they released doesn't work in FTP mode.

Cookie is right. That's why Zorgloob.com switched from Blogger FTP to Wordpress two months ago, after 4 years with the same old features of Blogger FTP...

Anyway, it's a side news because thanks to FTP publishing, all pages of the blog were all full static, 100% HTML, so it makes the website one of the faster-to-load CMS.
