Up yours iweb.

Remember a few weeks ago, after the LCC convention and then you didn't hear from me for a while?  Well that's because I was busy with the final drafts of book 3 and blowing up computers again, this time it was my laptop. I know, I work the little engines to death. Back around 2007 when I was doing the t.v. thing with the television show and the documentaries and I was preparing to podcast The O Line's I was overjoyed to discover iweb. Because I was sick of coding, and html, java whatever. SHUT UP! Just give me a WYSIWYG! Enter the iweb. Plug and play, fischer-price toys for adults, I'll take it.
So fast forward to last month when I killed the mac lap-top.  I go to buy another one. Well, first I tried to fix it with a new hard drive...I might as well have eaten a 100 dollar bill, at least I would have some fiber from that effort. Anyway.  At the Apple store the conversation went like this:
Me:  Well, I'm worried about my website. I really need to update it and do a bunch of stuff to it has Mac up dated iweb at all?
Overfriendly associate: (Eyes glaze over.): We're discontinuing iweb.  (Voice lowers) It's kind of a thing, you might want to transfer that.
Me: What the hell?
Oa: Yeah. People are kinda angry about it.
Ya' think?

So, for all you other podcasters who have oh, say, 50 podcasts up and running do not fret. Wordpress.  That's all I'm saying. Wordpress.
I've been dreading, and I mean sick to my stomach about it kind of dreading, redoing 2 websites. I even fleetingly considered forgoing the whole thing.  But as we speak I'm loading up the new website and it's about 1/3 of the trouble I thought it would be.  1/3 because a: I have to do it in the first place and b: I have to learn how this little gadget works.

I say unto you iweb users, do not freak out. I'm sure there are a lot of other WYSIWYG sites to help but I'm kinda lovin' the wordpress.  And every time I get stuck I just google the issue and thankfully there are others out there who have posted how to's and solutions.
