7 Essential WordPress Maintenance Tips
 

We all love WordPress because it is quick, easy and there are a whopping number of plugins, themes and the like out there to help us do pretty much anything we want to do with our site.  However; the more mod-happy we get the more likely we are to install something and inadvertently break something else on the site.  To ensure your blog is fully functional after installing a new mod, I’ve summarised a list put together over at Daily Blogging Tips.

For more information you can check out the post, but below is a quick checklist;

  1. Be sure to test your feeds are working.
  2. Ensure your contact page still works – which sadly mine does not at the moment!
  3. Ensure your About page is up to date.
  4. Thoroughly check each of the pages of your that they still display and link properly.
  5. Re-check your AdSense to ensure it still displays correctly and is producing relevant Ads.
  6. Regularly check your common outbound links to be sure none have gone dead.
  7. Update affiliate links in your posts should you join any new programs.

I recommend checking out the source for more info.

Great post Josh. I especially like the tip to keep your about page up to date. I think a lot of people forget to do this and it looks unprofessional to see incorrect or old info on the about page. It should be updated at least yearly. Well done!
