The very first one caught my eye.
“Do your homework first and read about others’ mistakes”
It’s good to learn from your mistakes but it is even better to learn from other people’s mistakes.
I also liked your list of plugins a few of which I never heard of.
Thanks!

Max, great article! I would also suggest installing Bad Behavior to keep the spam at a minimum. The ping list is very nice but it will bring in a lot of spammers especially as your page rank increases. Akismet will catch a lot of the spam but not all of it.

In addition, I would suggest putting together articles (5-10) before you install your blog. Then after the install immediately post the articles. The most spiders & bots will appear after the install and grab the content (and index it). This gives you a rush of traffic to your site.

Good Luck!
