First Steps

September 16th, 2008 • seo, wordpress

Here are the first steps that I’ve followed to make this blog run:

• Download & Install WordPress
• Configure Akismet
• Download & Install Sans-Serif Racer wordpress theme.

After these steps, I’ve configured WordPress to use permalinks. WordPress uses some dynamic url structure by default. It looks like (http://www.runseorun.com/?p=7). So I changed this to (http://www.runseorun.com/2008/09/16/run-seo-run). By doing this I’ve added more keywords to urls. Also it has a cleaner look. Anyway, everyone knows that permalinks are better than dynamic urls. So I will use them as well from now on. If you like too, just go to ‘Settings > Permalinks’ under the admin panel. Don’t forget to set correct permissions to .htaccess file. For more information refer to WordPress permalink documentation.
