I thought since probably so many may use, or are thinking of using Wordpress, that a tip section might be useful. I have designed four websites, two for volunteer organisations. You can find my own one here:

Anyway, my first tip is on plugins. There are a number of useful and/or must haves, but the latest I have found is 'Better click to Tweet', where you can add in a sentence within a page or blog that allows people to tweet that, with your tagline attached. It doesn't show up in an email however, if you email your posts out to people.
Thoughts or issues anyone?

As for personal recommendations:
If you're on a self-hosted sight I strongly recommend the twitter streaming plug in (shows your last X tweets), and other social media (I use Tumblr, which is a nightmare to set up, but worth the effort and Facebook) That way anyone who stumbles across your website/blog has easy access to connecting with you elsewhere.
For marketing:
Hootsuite is my preference, though Buffer fills the same niche. Lets you schedule tweets and blog posts in advance, which can free up a lot of time later in the week to interact.
