Flash, _RW_ can have a blog - there are many ways of doing that - if you find you ever need to. Remember that the many [Themes](http://rapidweavercommunity.com/addons/themes) that both come with _RW_ and can be bought as third-party enhancements control your pages’ look and feel, the CSS-based skin, if you like - as is the case with _WP_. For your 2 and 5 there are [several third party Add-ons](https://rapidweavercommunity.com/addons) which will do what you want. _RW_ has sophisticated and flexible control over how you define and implement metatags. The code in _RW_ is already optimized - and you do have the ability to [fine tune it further](http://forums.realmacsoftware.com/t/manually-minify-css/5217/4). Since the code generated by _RW_ is usually optimized, you’ll get good page load speeds. For your 4, it’s not a web page as such which builds, maintains and manages a mailing list. It’s often a database-driven application, perhaps using PHP/MySQL residing on the server. You’d possibly end up using something like [this](https://joeworkman.net/rapidweaver/stacks/post-office/) for that. I’d start with that [Community page](http://rapidweavercommunity.com/addons) and sift around in there to see just what’s available. For example, although not part of _RW_ itself, many people use a major third party plugin called [Stacks](http://rapidweavercommunity.com/addons/plugins/stacks). It has stacks (components available to drop into the Stacks framework) to do most things that most users want. You’ll also find this forum helpful in answering queries you have; good luck! --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.realmacsoftware.com/t/i-want-to-use-rapidweaver-but/9096)._
