I myself have had so much trouble so many time to try to figure out the settings for publishing my blogs to my domain and at last I thought that I would document this so that it would be useful to other people as well. So this is how we go about with it.

Before we start, make sure that you have your FTP username and password ready as well as create a directory something like “blog” at the root level of your webspace.
Next you need to go into the settings section of your blogger account and click on “Publishing”. Click on the link called FTP. I have take a few examples of my site data to make things more understandable. Enter the following data into the given fields under “Publishing”

FTP server : nikhildev.com(your ftp server name)
Blog URL : http://nikhildev.com/blog
FTP Path : /blog/
Blog filename : index.htm
Username: “the username that you use to access your ftp account”
Password : “The password relevant to that FTP account”

Click on Save Changes.

Next go into the Archiving section of the settings and enter the following fields:-

Archive path :- /blog/archive/
Archive URL :- http://nikhildev.com/blog/archive/
Archive Filename : archive.html

And the last things that you need to do is specify the site feed settings as following:-

Site feed server path:/blog/
Site feed filename: atom.xml
Site feed url; http://nikhildev.com/blog/atom.xml

Remember to click on Save Changes every time. You would then get a Navy blue button called republish. Click on that. After that again click on another button called “Republish Entire Blog”(remember, this is very important)

And voila! you are done and all set. All the future posts will be on your server. You can get back to me if you need more information on this.
