Doug,

I went to the site and said: now what?  I guess that I won't be the only 
one that saying: Everything looks the same.  Where should I start?  What 
do they want me to test?

I would suggest to change themes, one different theme for each item 
(blogs, forum, wiki et all) to make it clear where I am.  Now I have no 
clue.

I hope this helps.
