  1. All in One SEO Pack- This nice plugin does all the little SEO tasks that used to take manual updating. Fixes your titles, and helps prevent duplicate content issues.
  2. Word press database backup -Backup your database, nothing more to say. This one makes it real easy to do. The latest version allows you to have the process automated and sent to email. (Perfect for today’s large storage gmail or yahoo accounts!)
  3. Break out of frames - About the easiest one to use. Prevents your site from being framed by other sites. Takes all of 8 seconds to install and activate. No other configuration is needed.
  4. wp-cache - Prepare for the best, avoid database hits each time your blog is hit, wp-cache creates static copies of your pages on the fly. This one takes a small amount of work to get setup, but it will be worth the effort now if you need it later.
  5. Akismet -You will need this soon after setting up any blog, the comment spam will flow in. Akismet will stop it. Only downfall is a short registration to get a free API key. Simple enough though.

Ever try to delete the contents of a large directory in nix type operating system? If you have many files you will get an error like “list to long” or something like that. This happens to some of my directories I use to cache pages, sometimes I want to clear them out manually.

List too long

So now what?

The easiest and quickest solution is to remove the entire directory with a command like this. Now, before you do it, you need to realize that you will have to recreate the directory when it’s done, so take note of the permissions you have on the directory first.

rm -rf directoryname

rm -rf

You can see the directory is now gone “No such file or directory”. Yes, that is exactly what I wanted!
