I haven’t, but “Set up a personal URL shortener” is a no go for me. Bad for the web.

I'm curious what you read that suggested a URL shortener was a required step. I agree they're bad for the web, but I use them for other things like in slides and in print. If nothing else we should make it more obvious that nobody is suggesting a URL shortener is required.

  Good to know! I’d certainly be interested in adding meta tags. 👍

  It's definitely mentioned as optional on the "Getting Started" page if that's what you were looking at. But in general you should also think of everything on the wiki as optional, because after all it's your website!

  My bad. It’s clearly under “Optional / Bonus Steps”

  I was glancing through the website and one of the sections said to set up a short URL. (fwiw, I didn’t read *too* thoroughly, so it could’ve certainly been a suggestion/optional)
