Doop di doo

I'm trying real hard to figure out how to get blogger to publish as my index page, and it's giving me permission errors, the bastard. I don't mind the "XXX.blogspot.com" URL, but I'd prefer to be able to publish right to my homepage and link to the forums. That way we can get back to the article/community feel we had before. I'd also like to be able to let others publish on the homepage, which anyone who's been here a while knows is one of my goals.
Sadly, since I do every damn thing in fits and starts, like a cat stuck to a chainsaw, it takes forever to do this shit. Just never forget, I need candy.
