To set up permalinks, 1. go to your administration panel > options > permalinks 2. select custom permalinks 3. use this code - /%postname%/ This will make the url for your posts look like this: www.yoursite.com/your-post-title. I will do a post on my blog with a more detailed description. When first installing a blog, one of the first things that you should do is set up permalinks. To set up permalinks,

I've been using Wordpress for over one year now and I am constantly amazed how effective this CMS is. A few tips I can share : 1. Make your own set of "must-have" plugins. When you want to implement a feature, instead of installing the first plugin you've found, try all of them and select the best one. Or, you can use my selection : Spam Karma 2 for anti-spam protection Google Analyticator for stats Google Sitemap Generator for sitemaps SEO Title Tags + Add Meta Keywords for SEO Related Posts + Random Posts + Latest Comments for internal linking Feedburner Feedsmith + Get Recent Comments for regular visitors CformsII for best contact forms 2. Don't use live statistics plugins (such as Firestats) because it might result in CPU exceeded errors. 3. Try applying minor edits to your templates, you will learn a bit of PHP/HTML and will be able to customize your theme (if you're using a free one). Hope it helps :) Hehe.
