SEO Friendly Blog Installation

Using templates given in the membership, it is time to install WordPress, one of the best blog software available (and free).

Wordpress is very easy to tweak for SEO (CSS based templates, clean url(permalink) and some plugins) with automatic ping via Pingomatic.

You can easily prepare your posts one month before and WP will publish them one a day and will ping (with a plugin) at that date.

You can import RSS feeds as well as post via email.

Of course, you can include Adsense around the blog or even in your posts (with a plugin).

To tweak a little more your template, I recommend you "Dissection of a WordPress theme", a great tutorial about WordPress themes at http://www.urbangiraffe.com/themeguides

In the following days, I will tell you about the best WP plugins.
