If you are using the default permalink settings for your Wordpress blog, you need to stop what you are doing (after you read this post) and FIX IT right now. Seriously, it will take you less than 5 minutes and you will do your blog a huge favor in terms of search engine optimization and overall user experience.
Doug Karr just blogged about a great, simple Wordpress plug-in that will maintain redirects to all your old permalinks after you make the change. Dealing with all those newly broken links is what stopped him (and me) from making the change. Honestly, I hadn’t put much thought into the permalink structure on this blog, but it’s such a simple and fast change, everybody should do it!
Check out Doug’s easy to follow post on Optimizing WordPress Permalinks and understand the three main reasons you should make this change today.
I have always had a mild addiction to registering domain names. Either because they were short, sounded “cool,” or I had some brilliant idea that I never had time for–I’m register-happy. Most of the renewal fees are spread out over the year, but around this time and again in January, I get hit with a bunch at once and it is a painful reminder that I need to thin the herd.
So, below is a list of domains I’d like I need to let go. If I could keep them forever or had the time to develop them, I would. I’ve decided to offer each of them for a flat $25 (free push from Go Daddy).
