More Blog Migration Issues

Sorry about the problem with pictures missing in old posts. I just discovered that when I migrated to a blogspot.com blog from my old location the pictures were not migrated to a new server along with the posts.

The old server crapped out and now all that you see in old posts is a red square with an X instead of a happy fishing shot.  I'm slowly going back and re-uploading pictures but it will take some time.
What a pain!

First Post at New Domain

Well, looks like the migration may have worked. I've posted this picture of our Springer when he was a puppy. Gosh that was only 3 months ago. He is already about 40 pounds and was neutered this past Monday. Poor guy, I still can't look him in the eye. It will however make his life much easier and ours too.

As I mentioned the 5wt rod is finished and I had it out in the yard this morning to look it over in the sunlight.  Not too bad if I do say so myself but like most things there are some bits I will do differently next time. I can't wait to get started on another.

Blogger FTP Migration Issue

I have finished the rod I started building the other day and have taken lots of photos of the process. I will do some posts over the next little while on how-to build a rod but first I have to deal with this Blogger FTP migration issue. Steve Dobson's Fisherman's Blog is published via FTP and Blogger soon will no longer support FTP publication.

The existing pages and new posts will need to migrate to either a new custom domain or to a blogger.com address. The old urls will be redirected to the new Blogspot location. With luck this will be seamless to readers.

I will start the migration today but who knows, this may be the last post on this blog? If I get lost in cyber-space please send a search a party. If it all works, look for a post on getting started building a 5wt fly rod.
