Here is the irony: a. This feature is available only for beta blogger (i.e. the new blogger). b. And Blogger isn't migrating blogs which has more than a few post (250+) to the new version. Here is an interesting (fictitious converstation) that Product Managers would have had::: Custom Domain Team [CDPM]: Finally we were able to catch up with Wordpress!! Now, we have almost all the features that wordpress has..except a few! Blogger Beta PM [BBPM]: as in? Well, I don't think so! My product still doesn't work

CDPM: But hey! Mine works - now bloggers can use the custom domain name feature!! BBPM: Wait dude - I need to enable migration before this happens! Right now, we only allow splogs and small blogs to switch. But not the one with more than a few significant no. of posts! [I mean the real users of the system] …contd..

Andrew, this is different than “FTP Publishing” feature in blogger. You don’t have to host a FTP server in order to avail this feature. No bandwith or hosting costs.

I think Andrew is right. I think this has been around for a while.

If it hasn't, then its about time.

I'm sorry Om, but I don't get it! This isn't a new feature. We've been publishing Traffick.com's blog using Blogger since before Google acquired them.
