General Software Discussion / Re: wordpress is unacceptable

« Last post by rgdot on March 24, 2012, 07:01 PM »

I want to upload a doc file and it breaks all the formating and images. I try to upload an html file with folder with its images and it is not possible.

Every CMS or web publishing platform will need at least some work if you are working with existing content (html, doc, etc.)

Yet in reaction to these kind of events people are more likely to vote for more restricted societies (ie vote for Le Pen in France)

Conclusion: The 'normal' people are to blame for what they get.

Three years is too soon, sure MS will ship lots this October or whenever with new PC and tablet sales but for upgrading from a successful previous version three years is too soon.

« Last post by rgdot on March 19, 2012, 01:06 PM »

Around the same amount of time before Windows 7's release there was already a lot of excitement, I think time is running out for MS, third party tools can only do so much.

(btw I wonder if the creator of the 8Start launcher is inadvertently benefiting from this issue  )

I can confidently claim that this is the case in many forums and message boards and DC is actually not a 'good' example of what you are saying. It is just something that has happened to the internet as a very broad community.

FlatPress is a good option in my opinion but I wouldn't go for flat files because of a host, for other reasons like preference or needs sure but not because of a host.
