Hi Y’all,

Although I was pretty sure I would stay on iWeb I decided to move away once again.
So I just spend the last few hours setting up my new blog and copy pasting my older posts.

Why leave iWeb ?

- the website it creates is incredibly large. And for some reason my ftp connection always gets lost while uploading this massive amount of (always the same) data. Since iWeb always publishes a complete site, you will always re-ftp the complete site.
- iWeb needs post processing (iWeb++ for example ) You can’t add html (google ads, youtube movies etc)
- you can’t switch themes
- you can’t add blog posts when you’re away from your Mac …
- no really nice way to have integrated comments / trackbacks (without a .mac account)
- no way to search blog posts (without a .mac account)

The user interface however is truly amazing and the ease of use also but alas only blogging on my Mac and struggling with uploading a massive site feels so stupid…

So here we go again…
