After installing WordPress on your hosting, there are some must do list of things that you need to do in order to sky rocket your blog.

I am really trying to target new bloggers in this article on what they should after installing WordPress.
My blog is doing really great and many bloggers are really impressed with the achievement of my blog so far. I am also happy with this level of achievement and I am going to be achieving many more great things to come in the future.

Plugins can extend WordPress to do almost anything you can imagine. WordPress.org Plugins Directory has some 8,830 plugins and 81,433,552 downloads, and counting. That’s really great.
