Switching to Wordpress Bye Bye RapidWeaver…
Posted on 26. Feb, 2008 by Brian Wong in Blogging
As some of you may have noticed from all the weird posts, I am changing my blogging platform from Rapidweaver to Wordpress.
This is a LOT harder than I anticipated. The Rapidweaver blogging platform for Mac users is pretty much a theme-based desktop publisher. Very easy to use. Accepts full HTML and Javascript in the posts.
Wordpress is a much more robust software allowing virtually limitless variations and customizations. But the pain for me is that the way I blog must now change dramatically.
Anyway, I will fill you in on the details of my transition when its done. I will redirect the traffic from brianwong.com to brianwong.com/blog when the new blog is ready to see the light.
In the meantime, please ignore the test posts that I am generating. You will notice post such as:
- Embedding Videos
- Embedding Audios
- Embedding Images
- Posting from Flock Browser
- Posting from Ecto Blogging Platform
- Also there will be posts to test the various Wordpress plugins I have installed.
The good news is that if you are interested in setting up a blog and if you are as anal as I am, I will share all the tips I learned along the way to do all the above and save you some headache. :)
Stay tuned for the launch.

Hey there -
Was hoping you could share the results from this and a step by step process that you used to switch your site from Rapidweaver to Wordpress. Ive used Rapidweaver for over a year, but it has been for the most part very user-unfriendly and often crashes. Looking for a more stable platform to handle my blogging needs.
Thanks,
Peter
