Quick Fix

Speaking of needing a cure for adult acne, I finally had to do something to save my blogging ability in the short term. My blogging service (blogger.com) has decided they will no longer support FTP. What that means is I cannot publish my blog to moonlit-butterflies.net which is hosted by an outside source. I instead have to publish to a blogger address. In order to keep m-b.net functioning as it currently is without a complete renovation I decided the easiest solution would be to transfer my blog back to my blogger address (rabidcaribou.blogspot.com) and then embed it into the already designed index page of m-b.net via iframe to look pretty much exactly the same as it did when the entire page was designed and hosted on blogger while being published via FTP to this address. There are a couple of problems with this that will surely get annoying in the long term, however.

First, the blogger navigation bar at the top of the blog area is cut off in the iframe and is ugly regardless. It completely ruins the flow of the overall page which irritates me endlessly. But I'm willing to overlook it for now to keep my blog functioning so bear with me on that one. Second, the comment page will appear in the iframe and, therefore, also be cut off making it difficult to read what you are typing. Enough of the comment box and the submit button show to be able to utilize it when you wish to leave a comment though it may not be the most convenient comment system in the world at the moment. I'm hoping you will be able to make do with those issues for now as I really don't have time to figure out a better solution. I thought of using WordPress, but my current host (homestead.com) does not support PHP and is often tricky with FTP. I love my host as I have been with them since they were a free option back when I started tinkering around with web design and blogging in middle school. And they have never raised my subscription fee due to being a loyal, longstanding customer. So for now this is my best option. If you have any other suggestions, please feel free to comment in my sad excuse for a comment box.
