Thanks Daniel.

The privacy setting is something I forgot about.. That’s a good advice!

Speaking about WordPress – In the early stage, before you have a solid content structure which is including the category structure and the permalink format, I think it is a good idea to set the WordPress Privacy setting to block search engines from indexing your pages. Why? Because search engine result matters and in the future when you have more post ideas to write, there will be a chance when you think it is necessary to change the category structure and it’s not a good idea to change your content structure when you already have your pages indexed by search engines. You need a solid category and permalink structure before opening your blog for search engines.

Good post Alex, it reminds me of many forgotten things

Hi Mirjam,

Nice to see you over here again. Thanks for the kind words.

Yes, I noticed the tag. I’m a stats addict, remember?
I’ll write a little something soon.

Hey Alex!
When I first started with my blog, I actually did not write that About page. It seemed way more daunting to give out information about who I am, than writing that first post. Now however, participating more in the blogosphere, I find the About page is one of the pages I almost always check out, especially if I have read a few posts that I liked.

Gotta say, it is great to follow your blog and see how you are improving with each post! I tagged you in my blog, hope you don´t mind
