Both sites require registration and obtaining a user name and password, but the procedures differ. PA PowerPort delays customizing until registration is complete. Instead of taking new registrants to a customization screen, however, it requires them to find it.

This leads to the customization page, which offers eight options. The remaining options are Driving Conditions, Government Happenings, Legislative Links, and Regional Weather.

The impetus behind the last two was purely personal, but the first three offered items that could come in handy with my work.
