Informative post Avish. But you do know the problem associated with my wordpress, right? How to tackle that? Should I be creating another account for myself and my priority set to Administrator?? Help please
As for the other issues, i’ll try to settle them with the plugins.

By the way, can you please share the link for themes/plugins again with me (on msn), I kinda forgot on which browser I bookmarked it

With thanks

Chaya

@WDB: Hey… how come i didnt thought abt this? Yea you’re right buddy. Using a 301 redirect is much better I’ll check that.

@Sailesh:

Point 1: I completely forgot to mention about table prefix. Thanks for adding it here. Yea its better also to not use the default wp prefix. Easy…replace it with another set of characters. You can also edit your sql file if you have already install your blog bt dnt forget to change the config.

Point 2: Thats good. Thats to your advantage. Its always better to be away from the default ones.

Point 3: Thats good. So auto backup is one of the service that you obtained if you are ready to spend more on the hosting.

Point 4: Give me your hta i have a look lol

Point 5: Thats good for both of us then Even I do lol.

Anything else…hmm…. yea u gave yashvin his gift lol?

One thing. I actually used 301 permanent PHP redirects in the index pages in folders and subfolders. This way the person is sent directly to the homepage without ever getting into the folder. Second, it helps in redirecting search bots also.
