Hi Dan and You all, I’m a former Primary School Principal and I use RW Classic for several years for personal subjects like my grandmother history or a short movie I did in my twenties.
I live in Levis, Quebec, Canada and I am a French talking man. I can understand English quite well and I like to learn about new technologies, AI, robotics, etc.
I am a Mac user since the early years and I like very much Rapid Weaver for its ease of use and versatility. I regret Foundry 3 like many others but Elements appears to be a great alternative.
You did a great job and I intend to use it as much as I can. Thanks again.
Hi. Dan (and everyone else who has found this post - though I am not sure it is in the correct place).
I’m Mike (Grant) a definite ‘Newbie’ and will use this forum a great deal over the next few weeks as I recreate my ‘Classic site’ to Elements. Elements looks to be a fantastic program, though I am finding it a challenge to use at the moment. I have always been a Mac User, and developed my first Church website some 25+ years ago using RapidWeaver v3 (!!!) and Stacks. I recently offered to rebuild my current church’s website and found RapidWeaver v9 Classic. Our current website is made using Classic, Stacks and Foundry3. Being old and a little thick, I found this awkward to use, but persevered with many work-arounds to achieve what I had in mind. I have watched the development of the Elements Beta, and comments and the Dev Diary vids, when it became v1.0, I decided it was time to commit. So here I am again!I
I read some of the other introductions, and I’m very taken back… they are some amazing people. I used RapidWeaver before it was “Classic” and (something over 12 years ago) I built a personal website, stuck it on GoDaddy, and pretty much just left it there. I didn’t want to switch to Elements but… well… the website started looking a little dusty, and if I am going to do a significant overhaul, I might as well use Elements and rebuild the entire thing. I’m over 70 so it’s going to be slow as I learn the application. I hope it does not take me too long or I may be finished before it is. OK, now let’s see how easy this thing is…
