You mean via FTP? I would prefer that BlogSpot offer this service so that anybody going to the old (which means the current BlogSpot URL that I am now using) would be automatically forwarded to the new URL sans "BlogSpot" in the address. This seems like a natural thing for them to do. Angelfire offers unique personalized URLs for a fee. This would be a great way for BlogSpot to earn extra $$$.

It's been a while since I've messed with DNS and Domain naming, but IIRC, what you should be able to do is set it up such that someone types in DUmmieFUnnies.com and gets your blogspot site, without the blogspot URL showing up in the address bar. I once worked for a company that had a website but two or three domain names. I could type in any of those domain names and load the same HTML pages from the same server, but still had the domain I typed in the address bar remain (ie, it didn't redirect to our primary domain name if I typed in one of the secondary domains to get to the website).

In this way, you can still use blogspot's tools, but have your own domain name linking to your weblog.

I'm eating lunch with a guy in about an hour that owns his own web design business. I'll ask him about it and see what he says.
