Browsing on Digital Inspiration I came across an interesting post mentioning some basic things that you can/should do after installing WordPress. The tips include:

How to change the default image upload folder
How to remove the WordPress version generator on the header
How to prevent people from browsing your WP folders
How to disable Windows Live Writer Templates
How to turn off post revisions
How to disable HTML in comments
How to change the location of WP plugins and themes
How to change the building mode of XML sitemaps
How to turn off image tumbnails

Pretty cool huh? Just check out the article to discover how to do all those things.

Always good to know this stuff… No mention of choosing a permalink style though. I thought it would be one of the first things to change when setting up wordpress…Maybe it’s not an issue anymore.

This is definitely a great list of WP tips for me, as I am already going crazy with my two-week old blog. My other blogs are courtesy of blogspot and I feel at ease with them.

But have to have dirt my hand if I want to dig some gold, right?

Thanks for sharing this. I owe you one.

what do you think of using blogger as a platform? should I move to self-hosted wordpress ASAP?

it’s not a huge deal with losing subscribers… I use my own domain, subscriptions are through feedburner, etc. So I’m not gonna be totally dead if I switch (except for SEO, but I only have about 40 posts so far)

I guess if I DO need to switch I should do it sooner rather than later.

Maybe I could use analytics to set up 301 redirects for my old pages?
