FTP Publishing of my blog

I recently register with one of free hosting account, I am not sure what to do with that. Than I thought why not try FTP option of my Bloggers Account and try publishing my Blog there... I did that Every thing works fine. Great!!! But, Now I thought to host my blog again on blogspot.com so I change the setting in Admin panel for my Blog, BUT it is not publishing my blog any more. And my blog is closed for more that 8 hr before I am now able to publish it again. I will never try to experiment it with my blog as these 8 hr are too much for me to live without my blog Happy blogging, Sumit Gupta
