WordPress SEO Tips from Matt Cutts
I was looking through some old notes and found one about WordCamp 2007. WordCamp is a two day conference held in San Fransico thrown by WordPress. To be fair, they are not the only Wordcamp, but they are the original and the biggest.

A WordPress SEO Beginner’s Guide
I was told about a post over on Joost de Valk’s SEO blog that has a good starting point on what someone who is a beginner in SEO and who uses WordPress should do to their blog.
