Installing plugins and configuring your settings really isn't any different and how you create a post or page is still pretty much the same.<\/p>\n
There are, of course, parts that are very not relevant, when these were made there was no “block editor” in WordPress.<\/p>\n
There are also some things I would do differently now, for example, some of the plugins are no longer active, or I've found ones I like better, and I've made do with less.<\/p>\n
