#Blog setup
Setting up a blog so that the decisions made on day one do not become problems in year two. We cover permalinks, time zones, categories, the default settings worth changing and the ones you can leave. You will find what to decide before the first post, because changing it after the hundredth means redirects and cleanup. We also cover the technical basics that affect every page at once, such as HTTPS, a sitemap and making sure the site is actually indexable. Everything here applies to a standard WordPress installation.
