I love WordPress. I don’t bother “designing” or “programming” sites anymore. There are too many great templates for WordPress, it’s too easy to use, and there is a plug-in for most anything I need to do. A WordPress site doesn’t have to look like a blog, and it’s perfect for creating “mini-sites”.
Now, this subject has been covered alot online, but I’m going to talk about what I do when I set up a WordPress blog since it’s on my mind as I set up this blog today.
The first thing I do is set up Permalinks. Under settings > Permalinks > Custom Structure, I pretty much always put /%postname%.html
That makes the URL of all your posts look like www.myurl.com/my-subject-matter.html instead of www.myurl.com/?p=123.
Next, I take a couple of minutes and install several key plugins…
