Four days and counting

After four days we’re starting to get our arms around all of the issues surrounding the move to WordPress. The neat ‘Tiny MCE’ WYSIWIG editor that runs in WordPress’ post window (in FirefFox anyway) has a few bugs (most notably a penchant for swapping paragraph and line break tags) and using the HTML editor has a few challenges - WordPress tries really hard to clean up the HTML, not always a good thing.
The bigger mystery surrounds WordPress’ re-directs. We’ve done an Apache mod_rewrite rule in our .htaccess file to funnel incoming home page requests to index.php, and have installed Feed Director to further redirect incoming RSS and other feed requests.
The index redirect is working, but the feed redirects are behaving oddly, as were 404-not found pages. We have fixed the 404s, but the feeds issue persists.
The to-do list:
- Fix feed re-directs
Fix 404s- Fix/workaround the post editor
Don’t seem to be a lot of docs on the web re: Feed Director debugging…
