I’ll blog here about WordPress. First the good stuff. It’s great software and this blog would have been nothing without it. For people to make such a product available for nothing is laudable and I thank all the people involved with its creation and distribution very much for their generosity. There is one very big problem, however. The people at WordPress don’t seem to understand that the language of the computer world is a complete mystery to most of us. I accuse them of computer elitism. They have a forum and help areas that leave me gasping at my own ignorance instead of being a great place to find out how to do what I can’t do. As a result I can’t use the programme to its full advantage and cannot find out how to use all the marvellous plug ins and improvements and easy shortcuts that apparently can be attached to WordPress. One day I will change this site completely using a very easy programme called Site Spinner which is the free web building programme I built my other sites with. Now I have figured out a way to use it for blogging with the help of Personal Brain, a wonderful neural networking programme I have used for years and that has recently reached new heights in the latest version. It is one programme I have no hesitation paying for. The help section is wonderful. As there is no manual specifically for Version 4 yet, I had to ask them some dumb questions and received personal replies in less than a day. Now if WordPress were like that you would understand that ‘no replies’ is where you reply or I would have changed it to ‘respond here’. I would also have more ads and have them in the right places on the pages. Thanks again WordPress, you are a great thing for computer linguists but one day hugh@macdougall.com will have its own style because you don’t speak my language. I’m an English specialist.
