1) It appears to be impossible to logout. Clicking on logout results in a query about being sure. Clicking yes produces a WordPress error and one is not actually logged out. This may be confirmed by observing that one can still get at their Dashboard without login. UPDATE: WordPress error message is gone, but logout still impossible — one now gets an indefinite reload of the are-you-sure page.
2) There appears to be no way to <em>order</em> or <em>reorder</em> the links that appear in Related Links.
3) The default set up of the Dashboard has switched on many busy things that will not be of interest or use to most faculty—and will for some be intimidating and possibly confusing.
4) So far, it seems to me that the interface would be quite confusing to one who was no comfortable with web design or such. It has nothing of the simplicity of Blogger, for example.
5) On the Blog page, while there are multiple blog entries listed, there is but one “Edit this Article” link on the page and it is at the bottom. Clicking it initiates an edit of the oldest post on the page, rather than the newest. I expected “Edit” links for each post. As it stands, one must go to the individual blog post page and click the “Edit this Article” item there.
6) It is notable that the stock page set up has no link to login or go to the user’s Dashboard (or in any other way get to editing the site). So, one cannot go to one’s site and then simply decide to edit or post something — from there.
7) And, while this is perhaps a small point, loading the search field with ‘Search <user name>’ yields a rather unfortunate (and vaguely inappropriate) prompt, e.g. ‘Search Greg Ray’, ‘Search Jane Doe’, etc. Surely, it would be better for the prompt in this field to simply say something like ‘Search These Pages’ or some such.
