As I mentioned in one of my previous posts, Filezilla is an extremely useful tool. Yesterday as I was messing around with my WordPress blog: http://occoastalnews.com, I discovered the usefulness of Filezilla. While I have not had a need for FileZilla yet on my Blogger blog, I thought I would talk about it for the other people that are using Wordpress or another blog platform. FileZilla is a fast, reliable, and secure FTP/SFTP client that allows you to transfer files between Web sites and PCs running Windows.
Filezilla is very useful when you are running another blog platform that allows you to edit the actual template. (Blogger has less customization so most likely you will not need it) But, on my Wordpress blog I have been able to backup my template, find the banner images and customize them to look like my own and customize pretty much anything on the template. I spend about two days straight trying to learn how to do all of this, so I'm not going to be able to write about all of it but I will post helpful links and shortcuts to cut down on the time you need to spend. I do have to say that Google has provided the best tutorials. I have simply typed in what I have been trying to do and I've been able to find quick answers. For more complicated matters, try searching Youtube for videos on what to do.
