This Is Now A RapidWeaver Free-Zone
After my catastrophic loss of data, I managed to recover about 90% of my posts. There are a couple of weeks of posts missing, and if I can, I'll try to reconstruct them, but for now, they're toast.
I'm totally off RapidWeaver now. I have migrated to Blogger. It took a little doing, since you can't easily bulk import data into Blogger, even with their beta import feature.
I'm looking into using a client to make posts, the two main contenders being Ecto and MarsEdit. I'm leaning toward MarsEdit right now, but I'm not totally sold on either product.
Some deficiencies with the restore - none of the recovered posts currently have tags. Since getting the posts back were priority one, the tags will reappear over time slowly. There might be some glitches, but I'll be making more adjustments over the next little while.
In many ways, I'm glad to have my blog back in the cloud. It's hard to abandon a paid software license, but if you can't trust the software to not lose critical data, it's a totally lost cause. Goodbye RapidWeaver, I hardly even knew ya.
