New Wordpress Blog Goes Live - What do you think?
After blogging for a year using the RapidWeaver desktop publishing software, I finally conceded to using Wordpress. There are a few reasons for my change:
- It became increasingly difficult to upload the blog posts from my RapidWeaver platform. This is because the system upload each post as a HTML page and while that is pretty cool, when you have over 100 pages for example, that could take a long time. I still use Rapidweaver for my minisite designs because its just so easy to use.
- I really wanted to take advantage of some of the awesome plugins for Wordpress. Being an open source platform, there are some really cool things I can now do with my blog which I could not before. For example, I can make a post from my browswer (using Flock) and also from my iPod Touch when I am on the road and also from a desktop editor (I am using Ecto to write this post).
- With some cool plugins and software, I can take immediate screen captures of old pages and upload it to Flickr and embed it in a blog post with one step. I will write more about this at a later time.
Anyway, there are more reasons for the switch but I won’t go into it now. The first thing I wanted to do is to get your opinion of the new blog. I left the old one on the link below so you can compare. Leave a comment and let me know what you think.
