    This is a good thread. My best advice for a newbie is to definitely learn the technical side of blogging but understand there are some great plugins to "fill the void" in the mean while.

    I use Platinum SEO on my current blog, and it does have more features than All In One SEO.

    Thanks for the Ping list Houdy. Rep+ to you.

    By default Wordpress uses rpc.pingomatic.com which sends pings to 30 different sites automatically..
