Still Being Sent to Blogspot?

I just figured out that the domain forwarding I set up in blogger is failing for some reason now in mobile interfaces. this post link //ranthonysteele.blogspot.com/2018/12/bye-blogger.html should take you to the article on this website that corresponds to that article on Blogger (you’ll get a generic landing page since there isn’t an article of that name) In any mobile browser you use to open it, you will probably be taken to the article as it still exists on blogspot.com. I could have sworn I checked the forwarder on my phone after I first made the switch. WTF?

Weirdly, you can be redirected to the correct address by trying to navigate from inside the blogspot address. I have no idea why it even goes there at all in the first place. I’m guessing it’s a mobile tag that the code in the blogspot theme that redirects here doesn’t know how to handle. I’ll have to troubleshoot it eventually, I guess. Doesn’t really matter. It kicked me into copying new articles to the old address, a task I had been neglecting. I so often re-edit an article after it is first published that it becomes tedious making manual backups that no-one is supposed to see in the first place. Knowing people will possibly see the blog not being updated any longer? OK, that’s enough motivation.
