So…<\/p>\n

…if, while moving over to my new digs, I were to take advantage of the one-click WordPress<\/a> installation offered by Dreamhost<\/a> and finally dip my toes in waters other than those of Movable Type<\/a>, are there any pieces of advice I should know about? Plugins I should pay particular attention to? Tips or tricks I should know or avoid?<\/p>\n

So far, I’ve managed to track down PHP Markdown<\/a> and PHP Smartypants<\/a>, and have activated Akismet<\/a>, but that’s it (and all this is on a non-public test installation). I’m particularly interested in seeing if there’s a good (easy to implement) ‘tagging’ solution, such as I’m using here in lieu of categories. Googling for ‘wordpress tags<\/a>‘ tends to bring up lots of information on the formatting tags used in WP templates, which isn’t what I’m aiming for.<\/p>\n

Anything else?<\/p>\n
