So I think I’ve finished my list of todo and other oddities with regards to my website.
I’ve setup WP to tweet blog posts.
I’ve setup WP to use Feedburner RSS feeds.
I’ve setup Tumblr and Facebook to import those RSS feeds.
I’ve setup email notifications for people who receive replies on their comments.
I’ve setup a robots.txt blacklisting all bots except google bots from indexing internal Wordpress files. Also points to my siteindex.xml so that the bots index faster.
I also have designed and uploaded a favicon thats all mine. (For the illiterate, its the little icon next to the URL.)
I also setup 404, 403, and 500 status pages that send me emails alerts with crucial information.
The experience has been quite fun. Ive never messed around with .htaccess files so much before. Very powerful stuff. mod_rewrite ftw.

So did you use WP for the 404 emails? I need to look into that… would be a good thing to have at http://www.thepapertiger.com . I am going to use your site for our SEO efforts. http://www.thepapertiger.com. ha.
I used two methods. The first was a PHP script. The second is a wordpress plugin. The wordpress plugin handles everything under /wordpress directory. Which is how I set my file structure up because I hate a messy root.
