Safari and Wordpress. What’s the deal?

July 24th, 2007

I forced myself to go back to Safari when the beta for version 3 came out. I now run the nightly builds of Webkit as well. Overall version 3 is much nicer than version 2, but there is still one thing about Safari that is just driving me crazy - Wordpress. I host this blog on my own site using Wordpress and the editor is terrible with Safari. It’s basically unusable.

When you open any post in the editor it strips out all of the line feeds and html. Just destroys the formatting of your post. Uploading a picture seemed impossible as well. Of cource Firefox and Camino work great, but I was trying to stick with the Safari engine for everything and it is just not working out. I had to fire up FireFox just to create this post.

I’m not looking to use more than one browser, I just want one that works for everything and, unfortunately, that just may not be Safari. Is this an Apple problem or a Wordpress problem to fix?
