There is noticeably a bundle to know about this. I assume you made certain nice points in features also.</description>

		<description>Yes, at the beginning stage of my blogging I have struggled much for getting aligned, or setting the image. But, in the long run I have become effective at it.</description>

		<description>WordPress Addict, there was a recent discussion on the wp-docs mailing list about an alternate method for creating the documentation. I&#039;m wondering if you have any ideas on how they could improve, e.g., what new method they might use. I suggested hiring a professional technical writer to manage the documentation, but right now it looks like that&#039;s still a developing role. WordPress does have a lot more screencasts now, and I believe the guy who creates the release notes screencasts is full time with them. Matt mentioned an upcoming effort to integrate the screencasts within the admin interface. The problem, though, is that the really tough stuff is in the php code snippets scattered throughout the forums.</description>

		<description>I could not agree more. 

The Codex is very confusing, especially to new users.  It doesn&#039;t have clear separation between information for beginning or casual users and information for advanced users (read: willing to dive into PHP).  And it has many, many outdated entries, or entries that have so little information that they seem deliberately cryptic.

The two WordPress manuals that have been published in print are really only marginally useful for beginners, and not very useful at all for those seeking to customized WP in advanced ways, but without a programming background.

In short -- out of the box, WordPress is easy to use, if you don&#039;t plan to customize it much.  But if you want to customize... well, it&#039;s like those old maps that had &quot;Here Be Draggones&quot; -- you&#039;re on your own.  On the other hand, the great appeal of WordPress is that you *can* customize so much, if you&#039;re willing to climb an often very steep learning curve....</description>

		<description>It is shocking that their doc is so poor.  By contrast, check out - for example - Apache Roller&#039;s documentation (http://roller.apache.org/download.cgi).  A blog with much less of a footprint, yet much more comprehensive, serious documentation.</description>

		<description>I don&#039;t think Wordpress management knows what they want their flagship product to become. I don&#039;t understand why they rely on the userbase to support the product for the most part while they find more funding for a non-profitable product.
