I am still researching options

This blogspot workaround is clunky. Blogger canceling their ftp service is devastating. This site's setup used to be simple, and I could understand it. Now, this contortion at the domain registrar is their answer. I hate it. I like straightforward. I hate weird. The contortion is weird.

Anyone have solutions of how I can have a blogging system where I do not have to chase security patches and program upgrades on my own webhost, I'm up for it. I'd even throw decent money at it. I want what I had already with blogger. Dammit.
