Ten Things To Do After Installing WordPress

in Resource, WordPress

Lee Munroe is a freelance web designer from Belfast (Pro Blog Design) who put together a very helpful list for a new WordPress user.

Make sure to visit the detailed posting at problogdesign.com for his helpful advice on each of the items.

The 10 things on his list are:

1. Change the Admin Password and Manage Your Authors

2. Edit Permalinks

3. Upload Your Theme and Activate It

4. Add Your Categories and Change the Default

5. Activate Akismet (a plugin that blocks comment spam)

6. Install Google XML Sitemaps

7. Install Wordpress Database Backup

8. Test Your Blog With Dummy Content (most of my postings will fall under this category, so I skipped it)

9. Add your RSS feed to Feedburner (at first I thought this was some kind of dirty or suggestive item, but now I see it’s legitimate)

10. Activate your Analytics
