Links in CMS posts

A warning for everyone who uses the CMS for weblog posts. In case you decide to change your navigation of the website (p.e. move your weblog from position as top page to a position as subpage) be aware that as a result you can have a lot of broken links in your posts. Elements facilitates changes in the menu structure very well, but links in a post to another post don’t change. Posts are Markdown files and Elements doesn’t change links in md-files. I just found out about this and I’m not amused.

Dedicated blogging systems handle this much better, because they simply let you search the post you want to link to and then create the link for you. Just the same way that Elements links pages together. It’s not the first time, unfortunately, that using Markdown for blogging frustrates me.
