Blogger problems:

So I don't know if anyone else is having this problem, but my new version of blogger is ridiculously slow to publish. Like, 15 minutes to publish only the index page is normal. That's ridiculous. I don't mind most of the new changes, but it can't be this slow.

Also, I was really excited about the new comments in blogger which would eliminate the third party server I've been having problems with. Unfortunately, it appears that these comments don't work with FTP, since it publishes in a new place that I can't seem to make public access. So I'll stick with the third party for now.
