I love what iWeb can do.  It makes things very easy, and the ability to drag and drop your entire interface, is awesome.

However, that same point about the dragging and dropping the WHOLE interface, is a bit of annoyance as well.  Especially when it comes to the blogging portion.  Having to change things around, visually, every time you make a post, gets pretty annoying after awhile.

I’m thinking I want a more “standardized” blogging platform.  I’ve researched a lot of options.  From desktop applications, to web publishing options.  Even combinations of the two.  I have a few requirements, which is going to lead me to a very specific set-up, me thinks.  I’m pretty sure I want to use RapidWeaver as my primary publishing platform.  I’ve used it before, and then switched back over iWeb just under a year ago.  RapidWeaver just has more standard blogging options, which are either not possible in iWeb, or attainable, but require a pain-in-the-butt workaround.

I really want to be mobile too.  I found this great utility, called RapidBlog, which sync’s your RapidWeaver blog, with a Google Blogger account.  The cool thing about that, is Google Blogger allows for mobile blogging via email.  So, I can keep my sweet RapidWeaver interface, but still have the flexibility of blogging from my cell phone. 

Anyone have experience with a set-up like this, or any suggestions?
