Back in February we learned that Google planned to terminate support for those who use Google’s FTP site to post their blogs. (See Panic in Blogger Park! Google Pulls Plug on FTP Feed).  The FTP was a huge drain on the company’s resources. Though the original March 26 2010 deadline has been extended to May 1, that date is definitely lights-out for bloggers relying on Google Blogger.

Google offers support for bloggers migrating to other platforms, but we strongly urge those living in denial to move now or face not just a blackout but the possible loss of archived blogs.

E-Reads migrated its blog to WordPress in the recent redesign of its website and we’re very happy with it.
