I’d given it a good shot, spent my $99 and for a while it was a fun relationship.
But once I added a third blog it all fell apart.
Any post on any blog gets added to all three blogs; it relentlessly crashes without warning and loses data; it corrupts the remaining data so as to make it unusable; it renames posts and gets the linking wrong in the database.
I’ve had enough. Every new release of RocketPost gets worse.
Currently downloading Qumana 2.0 (I’m currently over betas) and will set up my blogs again, which is a tedious process.
I lost $99. Oh well… live and learn.
I could try and get my money back, but the hassle is just not worth it. Hopefully the developers at RocketPost monitor the blogosphere and will see this post. You had your chance guys; I was an evangelist for you. But you can’t build tools that don’t work, tools that keep breaking, and expect to keep your customers from complaining.
It’s a bit like WordPress — I wish I had stuck with the old 1.6 or whatever version, rather than upgrading to 2.0; lots of headaches and breakages and things not working even when I unplug them.
Live and learn…

Hi
What problems have you been having with WordPress 2.x? Mine has run fine since I installed it.
Qumana is indeed a great editor - try out BlogJet too, though.

Hi Dave,
Well, WordPress seems to have a problem with several things at the moment — I can’t unplug an iTunes plugin, as the feed then de-validates itself; I can’t switch off the wysiwyg editor (despite unticking the box) and it seems to want to turn ‘p’ tags into ‘divs’, which stuffs the layout when it eventually publishes, forcing my sidebar to the bottom of the last post.
Qumana is giving me challenges at the moment — for some reason it won’t post and gives me a ‘Content is empty. Nothing to publish’ error dialog box even when the page is full of stuff.
So I might try BlogJet and see how I get on. I quite like looking at the html and adjusting where necessary before posting, and Qumana doesn’t seem to offer that, at least in V2.0
