Hi John-
Looks like you have the basics so far - or at the very least you got it installed correctly
. I like the theme you are using and, like most WP themes, it is already pretty good in the Search Engine Optimization department (code-wise).
I also like the domain name - that alone should help you a lot for ranking purposes.
Once you add some content and get it more "public ready" I'd be happy to post about your new site from mine. Just let me know when it's ready.
Also, if you feel so inclined, I'd like to hear how things work out for you in this endeavor down the road.
