Taking JetPack for a spin

Interested to see how WordPress JetPack affects website performance in addition to ease of use with WordPress’ mobile and desktop app.

Writing via the desktop app which offers a clean, simple UI.

Sidebar provides you with quick access to categories, tags, featured image and a few more options.

Features liking so far:

  • Connecting to social media services such as Twitter (link here to see how this post turned out!), Facebook and others for auto-posting.
  • Fast user interface on the desktop app (plan to test mobile app later!)
  • Security – still trying to understand how this all works.

Someone is yakking at me about a multi-million dollar house in LA they want to see, have to go.
