Yeah, WordPress Auto Update doesn’t even work for me, just downloads the file and does nothing, therefore I don’t trust it at all. Also downloading it manually lets me update all my sites at once!

Great tips, I’ve recently changed my design as I found most traffic was just looking at the home page, to me that means that don’t like it.

Great list!

I wouldn’t recommend using the wordpress automatic upgrade though. Its a really good way to break your site if plugins and various other code features you may use aren’t compatible with WP. I know its convenient, but I like to check that plugins I use are compatible with the new version before updating.

Blog design (usually the theme) is what visitors first see when coming to your site. You may have the greatest killer tips, but putting up a theme that “pains the eye” will turn away visitors as soon as they load your website. Make your first positive impression that lasts a lifetime and you can achieve it by using a nice attractive theme.

I don’t actually have a WordPress blog, but I do copy many of their plug-ins over to my framework. WordPress has (by far) the best plug-ins available. From Askimet to the SEO packs. They’re great stuff.

The theme need to look clean. Light color and professional theme look great for most niche sites.
If you run Adsense on your blog, you will be appreciate there is an Adsense plugin you can install to your SMS.
