Do you know that you can change the URL of your post? Wordopress assigns a “Default” URL to your post when you add the title of your post. This URL contains these portions:
http://yourblog.wordpress.com/year/month/date/title/post number/
You can change only the title portion of this URL, without changing the title of the post!
Isn’t it nice? I mean for those posts which has very long titles but you want the URL to be small.

Sometimes, you can view one post in your blog, but when you click on the URL of that post, you get a 404 error. Whey this happens?
This sometimes happens when a blog owner publishes a post with the current date, but then edits the post and changes the date of the post.
Each post URL contains the date published, and the link in your “Latest Posts” list will be wrong because of this. Examine the blog in question and you’ll probably find the post. If not, the edited date is in the future so make sure you visit again to read that post!

Regular Posting is okay, but sometimes we want to keep a hot post or topic at the top of all the posts. You can do something like this by choosing the default page option, but that will only show the particular page, not the new posts as default.
So now there is new feature called Sticky Posts. This feature has existed as Sticky Topics in the forums, but hasn’t been available on blogs. Until now.
1) When you write a post, look at the right bar, where you select the Publish/Unpublished option.
2) There is check box, ‘Keep this post Private’. Below this box, there is a new check box, called ‘Stick this post to the Front Page’.
3) Check this box.
4) Now, whatever you post, but this topic will always appear at the top of all the post and then the latest post will come.

- Synchronize your MailPress users and your WordPress users (mailpresssyncwordpressuser)

This plugin generates static html files from your dynamic WordPress blog. After an html file is generated your webserver will serve that file instead of processing the comparatively heavier and more expensive WordPress PHP scripts.
However, because a user’s details are displayed in the comment form after they leave a comment, the plugin will only serve static html files to:
- Users who are not logged in.
- Users who have not left a comment on your blog.
- Or users who have not viewed a password protected post.
The good news is that probably more than 99% of your visitors don’t do any of the above! Those users who don’t see the static files will still benefit because they will see regular WP-Cache cached files and your server won’t be as busy as before. This plugin should help your server cope with a front page appearance on digg.com or other social networking site.
As this plugin is based on the older WP-Cache plugin you can switch off the Super Cache static html caching. Caching will still be performed, but every request will require loading the PHP engine. In normal circumstances this isn’t that bad, but if your server is underpowered, or you’re experiencing heavy traffic you may run into trouble. Super Cached html files will be server more quickly than PHP generated cached files so there’s very little reason not to use the Super Cache feature.
Please visit this page to know more about this:
