If you (or anyone on the internet) is reading this post, it means that my problem is solved.
I recently set up my own domain for the purpose of containing my Blogger blog. I set my account in Blogger to send files to my new site via FTP. Happens automatically every time there’s a new post, an edition, or a comment.
Problem is, nothing shows up on the old Blogspot address after the date I moved to the new domain. That makes sense: I moved everything over to the new address (davesmidlife.com), so no new posts went onto Blogger.
Anyway, this afternoon I was trying to figure out a way to post a redirect notice on that latest post on the Blogger blog. To do that, I assumed, I needed to change my Blogger settings to publish at the blogspot.com address, and then (so my plan was) I would go back to FTPing to my new site.
Now nothing seems to publish. I have my login settings for my own website set correctly (I triple-checked), yet Blogger always gives me an FTP error (login incorrect) whenever I try to publish.
So I’m writing this post mainly as a test to see whether I can publish to my own blog once again.
I am truly about ready to migrate this whole thing to WordPress, like the rest of the world seems to be doing, so I don’t have to deal with the bizarreness of Blogger anymore.
Grrr!
(Later on I find that my problem was a DUHHH… problem: I kept entering the wrong password for my FTP login. There seems to be a rather steep learning curve for me when it comes to blogging, but I’ll get it sooner or later…)

Hello Dave! I am a listener of your the WordNerds and now a subscriber of your blog. I find it nice to know that there are more people out there who get all crazy about nothing or what turns out to be their own little mistake
So, I have a question concerning your blog. How did you get that little window or rather frame, I guess, with “A book I like” from Amazon.com? I’d like to spice up my blog a little bit with some literature 
Keep up the great work! Greetings to the other nerds! Thanks and greetings from Germany, Jasmina
Hi Jasmina. Thank you so much for commenting here.
The Amazon box with the link was created in my Amazon Associates account. I am not sure exactly what the link is in Germany to sign up as an associate, but in the US it’s http://associates.amazon.com.
If you’re an Amazon Associate you can get (a tiny bit of) money from sales when people click through your site to get to Amazon. It has never made me rich, however!
I’m sure the same kind of thing exists at amazon.de.
