My First Post Shouldn’t Be About How Much I Hate Your Software

Seriously, I know you get what you pay for, but my experience with setting up WordPress is still leaving me with a desire to stab people in the face. I haven’t even written my own theme yet.

I have so many things I want to  say about people not understanding how other people use technology, or how non-tech people look at things. I shouldn’t need to be a computer scientist to set up this blog. I shouldn’t need to know two other computer scientists to ask questions about it either. (I probably could have gotten it working with just my two friends, being a computer scientist mostly meant I understood a lot of what I was seeing… and it made me very sad.)

Just as a general thought on technical writing: Please be able to identify the words you know which people outside your group/culture/company/job/skill-set/ninja-clan will not know the definitions of. Define them before you spout them off willy-nilly.
