can't access blogspot.com?? here is the solution..

it seems like that this is a common issue:

I can suggest two ways to fix the issue. First, the better way.

Configure your DNS setting to use some public DNS server. You can use one or more from the list here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenDNS#Servers Assuming you are on some type of Windows system, you can do it by navigating to: My Network Places > View Network Connections > Whatever is your active connection > Right click and select 'Properties' > Select 'Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)' > Properties > Select 'Use the following DNS Server Addresses' and enter one or more of the IP addresses from the link I gave above.

If that doesn't work, here is an inferior way. Lookup the IP address of blogspot.com manually by visiting some online nslookup site that you are able to visit. e.g. http://www.kloth.net/services/nslookup.php

Let us assume it tells you that the address of blogspot.com is: 74.125.39.191

Now, open the file, C:\Windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts with some editor such as Notepad and add this entry:

74.125.39.191 kevinrichards.blogspot.com

You can add one or more such entries for every website you are unable to visit..

My developer is trying to persuade me to move to .net from
PHP. I have always disliked the idea because of the expenses.
But he's tryiong none the less. I've been using WordPress on a variety of websites for
about a year and am anxious about switching to another platform.

I have heard good things about blogengine.net. Is there a way I can transfer
all my wordpress posts into it? Any kind of help would be greatly appreciated!
