How To Set Up WordPress
My intention for this post was to walk you through some of the things that you should do after installing WordPress on your server. However, during my research I came across a post by Michael Martin on Pro Blog Design which shows you the 10 things you should do after you set up WordPress.
Here are the 10 things Michael recommends (as do I).
Here’s an outline of what to expect:
- Change the Admin Password & Mange Your Authors
- Edit Permalinks
- Upload Your Theme and Activate It
- Add Your Categories and Change the Default
- Activate Akismet
- Install Google XML Sitemaps
- Install WordPress Datebase Backup
- Test Your Blog With Dummy Content
- Add Your RSS Feed to Feedburner
- Activate your Analytics
For the most part, I follow this same process after installing WordPress themes, and so should you.
To your success,
Dhane Crowley
