Ad non Sense. Net

I know, it’s a ballsy headline, but I’m tired of hearing all of the script kiddies on Digg scoff at Wordpress, blaming it for sites crashing from the “Digg Effect.” Drupal, Movable Type and others all have similar problems, but there’s a lot of people saying you should never Digg a Wordpress site because it will always crash. Wordpress needs a little tweaking, but for the most part, it’s the server configuration that is to blame. Maybe the new release of Wordpress will improve on some of the caching issues, but from what I can tell, it mostly improves on aspects of Wordpress that I don’t use anyway (draft saving, image handling, modules, etc.).

So, in my usual fashion, I’m doing my best to provide what I’m hoping will be useful information for anyone running Wordpress on a server they have some control over. The information in this post should help anybody running any kind of website on any LAMP server. It just happens to contain some Wordpress specific information as a bonus.
