You'll notice that after you 'Publish', you'll either get a message that you were successful or not. If you were not successful, exit blogger completely, come back in (your posting will still be there) and then edit and publish it again. It appears that my server is refusing the first ftp session with a given host, but then will allow successive ftp sessions for some period of time after the first one fails. However, blogger won't attempt more ftp sessions after a failure unless you exit and come back in. So this may not be a blogger problem, but something to do with the company hosting k0lee.com which is where the blog gets posted after a 'Publish' command is issued.
