• About Page : About Page is a great way to introduce yourself to your readers. It's the most important page of your blog as it is permanent.

Readers visit about page to know more about the writer but it's not a CV. So, make your about page interactive that encourages readers to go through it.
 

• Structured URL : No one like to see URL with lots of numbers and question marks but by default WordPress will make your URL like this only. That default URL setting can be changed easily as WordPress allows you to set your own URL structure simply by clicking on the setting menu.

• Error Page : An error page is shown by default when someone tries to access the broken link of your blog. WordPress gives you an opportunity to dress-up that page in such a way that can stop visitors from leaving your blog and redirect them to your blog's homepage or any other page you want.
