Here are some obvious and not so obvious ways to ruin your WordPress website. Some of these will also destroy the relationships with your family and friends. In fact, I guarantee that if you follow these 150 simple steps, you will have a horrible WordPress website and very few friends.

His list includes some "useful" suggestions like:

• Constantly change your permalink structure without creating 301 redirects. Google will love you for this.
• Put a bunch of keywords at the bottom of your page, making the font color match the background.
• Add music that auto plays on your website. Do not provide a way to turn it off.
• Make sure your contact and comment form are broken. If someone points this out to you, tell them it is because you get so much traffic.
• Display a different main navigation menu on every page load.
• Focus 100% on SEO, but don't worry about how your visitors feel about your site.
• Make some of your text look like links, but they are not click able.
• Require everyone who visits your website to first download a pirated eBook.
• Claim you have the #1 position for a popular search engine keyword.

And, of course, the most useful suggestion of them all - "Don't update your plugins or WordPress installation...ever."

Matt makes light of a lot of the things said in the Hiveminds article, including Carl's comments about the importance of PHP and how it compares to Carl's language of choice, ASP.NET.
