First it was updating WP itself along with its associated plugins and themes. Then an enforced trip to Google Webmaster tools which I’d not\u00a0looked at for a while highlighted a few issues such as soft-404s and other errors. “Well, may as well fix ’em while I’m here” I thought. So, I did. (I may have been better being disciplened and pencilling those tasks for later while I continued with job number 1).<\/p>\n
