Welcom to Xtremz Hair Salon's New Blog!!!

Well I am too excited to have this blog up!! If you read the first blog I did, then you know for sure that it was no easy process. I can assure you that patience, and a little determination is needed to accomplish this.

Our next few posts will be about hair stuff, and nail stuff, and waxing this and that, and permanent makeup, and all the stuff the ladies at Xtremz do, but this first blog is mine! (jason)

So I want to take this time to right a wrong by Godaddy and Google(Blogger but Google owns them now). First off , if your hosting service has IIS 6.0, you cannot add an FTP user. So if you don't know your FTP information but you can log into your Godaddy account, you STILL have to call!?! Haven't those people ever heard of "RESET PASSWORD" screens. The simple solution would be to have a new icon under the "SETTINGS" tab for FTP USERS. Obviously you should be able to see your FTP username under that, and then your password should be masked, but it should have a reset button....DURRRRRRR!!!! Bob Parsons and Godaddy are rip off artists. I agree their services are the cheapest, but you have to watch your back at every turn or they will try to upsale you, over bill you, and profit off you. It is much like getting your web services from "SLICK RICK" the used cars salesman in Patuka, NY or something.....

OK, now for Blogger! Well, this kind of goes back to godaddy too, but anyone creating a blog in the future head this warning! If you have Windows hosting on your server and you set up a blog to be hosted on your site you will have to fill out your FTP information. A real pest IMO, and you will more specifically be matched up with this "FTP PATH" field. You will get beaten up trying to find it because it is not written, or accessible in your file or whatever. The path is this /ftpusername/subdomainname/ . For example, if your username is "JOESCHMOE" and your site name is EGGS.COM but you are posting to the subdomain "SCRAMBLED" then the "FTP PATH" is going to be:
/JOESCHMOE/SCRAMBLED/. It is case sensitive and the syntax has to be 100% correct.

Now I have to get off here and write an article about this in forums that are tech related so that thousands of people that try to post blogs each day can get proper support relating to Google. GoDaddy, and Blogger.

Hope you guys enjoyed this rant and I also hope you have a great weekend! I am excited about it because my fantasy football team looks great and I am looking to move 1 step closer to the playoffs! Anyways...Cya
