It’s time to unveil my first WordPress plugin: Basic-SEO. It’s a very, very simple plugin really, it applies a pre-defined set of search engine optimisations to your active theme. It has no configuration options at all at the moment it just achieves the goal I had in mind for it. I thought I’d release it as it is now in case anyone else finds it useful. I’ve already got a list of features I’d like to add to it but my next step is to get it listed on WordPress Plugins.
If you find the plugin useful or have an feedback then please let me know.

As I’ve recently changed the theme I use in WordPress I’ve lost all the basic SEO tweaks I’d made. Rather than make the tweaks again to this theme I’ve decided to convert them into a simple WordPress plugin, should allow me to get my hands dirty with the inner workings of WordPress and plugins as well as save a bit of time in the long run. I’m also planning on documenting the development of the plugin here.
While Java is my preferred language of choice I’m sure it won’t hurt to stay involved in PHP.

I’ve been tweaking my theme recently to make it more search engine friendly and it seems to have worked as I’m getting a few hits direct to posts from Google searches. In case anyone is wondering I’ve just made sure the HTML meta tags always have values (using the post excerpt & tags) and that the post title comes first in the page title if applicable. I know there are some plugins I could have used to do the same job however I learnt quite a bit about WordPress themes in achieving my goal. I’m more familiar with WordPress and themes now than I was before anyway.
Does anyone have any other SEO tips they can suggest?
