Painful blog and website update …
Just a quick update to let all of you know what’s going on with the blog and site at the moment.
As I am a Mac user I developed and maintain the Retire on Property website using Rapidweaver which is an excellent product and in general has served me well. It gives a good balance of functionality versus user friendliness and simplicity.
However, the standard blog functionality in Rapidweaver does not let you edit your blog or add posts through the web like for example WordPress or other blogging software would let you do. And that is a bit of a pain as it means I always have to use my macbook and rapidweaver to update the blog. Not exactly what I wanted so I went ahead and installed a Rapidweaver plugin called WP-Blog and I eventually managed to get it to work but in my clumsiness and desire to keep my server neat and tidy I somehow managed to delete all my old posts… and I had no backup… Aargh!!
So over the next couple of weeks I will restore the blog and get the majority of old posts back as I do still have a number of them in varying states of completion. Watch this space and back up your blog posts right now!
