I’ve just installed the excellent wp-super-cache plugin to accelerate things a bit in this blog; today somebody sent one of my pages to reddit and I’ve had more users than usual! - by the way, thanks for coming! :)
Update: I admit, it also has a bit to do with the reading of today’s entry in Coding Horror ;) But I love WordPress nonetheless. I prefer it over MovableType (which I used during one year and a half).
The only glitch was: at first, it didn’t work. I think you know the feeling.
The plugin was enabled, everything was activated, yet no files were cached: exactly this same problem. And I found a quick fix to it, hence this post: fire your FTP client of choice and go to /wp-content/cache. If you don’t see a “supercache” folder in there, just create it. Magically, if you have some traffic on your blog and you dig in that folder a couple of seconds later you’ll see already lots of files! No need to modify .htaccess whatsoever.
If you want to populate it, log out of the WordPress admin and start clicking on your blog. This plugin only creates cached files for anonymous visitors! I also turned on the compression so you should start having faster response times.
It was the only thing to do manually to get it working. Hope this helps! Any comments, as usual, more than welcome.

HOLA, ADRIAN
disculpame que te escriba aca pero es que no encuentro un e-mail por ningun lado. Gracias por la promo! Si encargar se puede, por e-mail a la direccion que aparece en el sitio. Despues el chico del delivery te lleva el pedido :o) No a Lausana, claro, pero a Route des Acacias llegamos. Claro que desde ahi te queda a un paso La Bodega, no? Lo de Globus… vi la pub, pero Gabriela fue a darse una vuelta. Volvio con un catalogo (gratis). Yo le decia que teniamos que habernos disfrazado de tangueros y vender alfajorcitos en la vereda, pretendiendo que eramos parte de la movida. No nos dieron los horarios :o)
Sitio de e-commerce? Por ahora no, claro, pero mas adelante quien sabe. Tomamos nota.
Saludos.

Just use 1BlogCacher these days. Super Cache is way too painful to be worth it. 1BlogCacher is clean to setup (no labyrinth of folders and whatnot) and works like a charm.
