Generally, every WordPress blog adds a line in the head section of the Html source code which states that the page has been generated by WordPress x.x.x. The information about wordpress and its current version number is very easily visible in the head section of any wordpress blog. This does not cause any harm however, it provides some useful information for the nasty people. I personally feel that the information should not be visible in the head section. The information in head section looks something like this. Removing that line from the head part of blog is quite easy.
//add this line of code in your theme functions.php file remove_action(‘wp_head’, ‘wp_generator’);
simply add into your themes function.php file and it will be gone forever. If the generator line is still there, you can also check head section present in header.php file for the generator meta tag and remove it from there. Save the file and referesh your blog and hurray its gone for ever.

Agreed, a very useful and very easy thing to set up. I’d also recommend not calling your admin user “admin”, since that is too obvious, and changing table prefix when installing WordPress.
Your post is very nice and its true. I am working as seo analyst and i will mainly concentrate on the meta tag. Because through meta tag we can make keyword optimise easily and also we can make our site to get good ranking also.
