3 Ways to Publish Your Wordpress Blog - Tips for Beginners

There are three tips you can use to publish your wordpress blog for beginners.

1. Feeds

The RSS 1.0 (aka RDF) (http://purl.org/rss/1.0/), RSS 2.0 (http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss) and ATOM (http://www.atomenabled.org/developers/syndication/atom-format-spec.php) specifications are fully supported by WordPress, and further more, almost any page on your weblog has an associated feed that your readers can subscribe to. There are feed for the latest posts, for categories, comments and many others. Literally, feeds for anything you want.

The more options your readers have to keep track of different sections of your weblog, the easier it is for you to spread the word around the world. WordPress also fully supports RSS 2.0 with enclosures, so adding mp3 files (such as podcasts) to your RSS feeds is a great idea.

2. Cruft-free Permalinks

The URLs for all the pages in your weblog can be made to conform to a standard, cruft-free system, and all the links are structured, sensible, and understable to human and machines, including search engines. Clean URLs are required for search engine optimization and an improved user experience.

3. Inter-blog Communication

In an increasingly connected world, WordPress comes ready for PingBack (http://www.hixie.ch/specs/pingback/pingback) and TrackBack (http://www.movabletype.org/docs/mttrackback.html), two very useful ways of connecting to other weblogs, and to enable them to do the same.
