Getting Started

This is my first time using WordPress (I use Blogger for my personal blogs), and I found the set up process to be reasonably straightforward. Compared to Blogger, WordPress gives the user more advanced features to control content editing and publishing. Blogger, however, has a much simpler interface, which I find more intuitive to use.

The Links/Blogroll feature has been disabled in the newer (3.5 and higher) versions of WordPress. According to WordPress documentation, the Links Manager needs to be installed as a plugin on the server for it to be available on the client side menu.

Setting up an email signature was also simple. Google has a simple user interface for creating email signatures. I have used it before, so I knew where to find it.

I had not used the Windows Narrator functionality before, but a quick search on the internet got me the Microsoft documentation on this. However, I found it frustrating to use the Narrator, mainly because it would switch to reading out the controls that the mouse pointer was hovering over. I often use Adobe’s “Read out Loud” functionality for PDF files, and like using it.
