Organising your site
"WordPress is an awesome tool right out of the box, but for those of us that have been building sites on WP for years, there are some things that we always seem to change, update, or modify (because we what works). Even though WordPress is now a fully qualified CMS (content management system), it’s roots go back to when it was popularized because of it’s blogging capabilities.

WARNING: consider NOT using %postname% as your permalink. See http://www.jtpratt.com/wordpress-permalinks-for-seo-and-speed/
Be VERY careful when choosing your permalink structure - it could HURT PERFORMANCE. See: http://www.jtpratt.com/wordpress-permalinks-for-seo-and-speed/
"In this WordPress video tutorial we begin to learn how to use WordPress’ settings pages, in this case, WordPress’ “general” features which covers several important global WordPress settings."
The performance problem with using a permalink structure including category and/or post title may have been fixed (see http://core.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/18541). However, using post_id/post_name is probably still the best choice on balance (eg you content will qualify for inclusion in "Google News")
"make a WordPress site easier to browse and its content easier to discover. When also used as META descriptions, good excerpts bring more and better traffic from search engines. "
If you're using a StudioPress theme, you'll need to customize your choosen child theme as per the following post: http://www.studiopress.com/support/showthread.php?t=31140&highlight=META+description+excerpt
The “teaser” is another useful device in WordPress, often confused with the Excerpt. You make a teaser by inserting the more tag in a post. (The More button is to the left of the spellchecker.) Then, the part above the more tag becomes a “teaser” and is displayed by default on the front page in lieu of the full content, along with a Read More link.
The relation between the Teaser and the two Excerpts, manual and automatic, is this: When a post has no manual excerpt, WordPress looks for a teaser and uses that instead. If the post has no teaser either, WordPress uses the first 55 words as an excerpt.
Also consider adding manual exerts to each post. These should then be displayed in the auto-generated Category page. For more details see: http://op111.net/67/
