checklist for word press

wesley · #1 (**permalink**) 05-29-2007, 05:04 PM

I have spent the last couple days researching and installing plugins to my word press blog. I went through the site and made of list of everything that would make my blog better. From now on, I will use this list as a checklist to make sure each and every one of my sites using any CMS has these issues covered.

A couple of the things so far :

"add meta tags" - this allows you to have a proper description in the search engines for the home page, the categories and the posts

"sitemap generator" - there are 2 plugins here
- one is for the xml sitemap for google and the other is the sitemap or directory for your website

"akismet" - another member here suggested this to me to help with my spam problems

"advertisement plugins" - I am still testing which I like best
- but this is helpful so you don't have to hard code your pages with ads nor do you need to insert the ads every time you write a post.

These suggestions are just a few things to help me as a beginner blogger - hope you will get some use from this, too.

Ultimate tag warrior for meta tag generation. Its a pretty handy tool and usable from where you write your posts.

There are other plug ins available such as the amazon plug ins that allow you to search the amazon website for affiliate selling.
There are a lot of plug ins to rotate adsense ads...

WordPress Pre-Launch Checklist

Change the WordPress theme.

The default Kubrick-theme is cool, but long late for a make-over. Check-out Smashing-Magazine’s list of 83 WordPress themes .

Update your perma-links.

Create search-engine affable URL’s for your perma-links and archives. This can get better the usability, aesthetics of your links.

Channel the WYSIWYG editor.

But what you observe is not what you make. Ditch the WYSIWYG-editor all in all by visiting your sketch and personal options.

Good plugins to start out with but you've missed some that can definitely be of much help like:

Contact Plugin
Yet Another Related Post
Limit Login Attempts

I definitely missed some but that could certainly be helped by the many blogs out there showcasing the plugins you should use on your sites.
