As simple as blogs are, for some reason, WordPress does not install or configure a default WYSIWYG editor. We normally refer to these editors as “What You See Is What You Get”. This allows me to make simple links and text formatting without writing HTML. For simplicity, I installed Simple WYMEditor. It seems to work pretty well, has a clean interface as well.

To install it, please go to

Another step in creating the initial blog setup is to install Subscribe to Comments. According to Mark Jaquith here’s what it does: “Subscribe to Comments is a robust plugin that enables commenters to sign up for e-mail notification of subsequent entries. The plugin includes a full-featured subscription manager that your commenters can use to unsubscribe to certain posts, block all notifications, or even change their notification e-mail address!”

To get the download, go here because you’ll also see the installation instructions: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/subscribe-to-comments/installation/

The total amount of time it took to complete was about 5-10 minutes and that’s because FileZilla needed an upgrade. Extremely easy to install.
