@nighershade exactly :) good luck.
@jimbojones, yes WP wins but mainly because the plugins take care of much of the SEO requirements out of the box. nothing is better than some manual tweaking, but for ease the plugins work brilliantly.
my tip is to put articles in multiple categories to pool resources around subjects i.e. 'leather beds' and 'double beds' the article could be about both.
The first thing id do manually is tweak the source so that its semantically correct i.e. h1 should be for the blog title on the home page only, on subesequent pages it should be the title of the article
secondly is to remove perhiperal links from the structure keeping it on topic and controling anchor text throughout the site
then in plugins use something that optimises the title tag, another one for custom file names and a 3rd for spam management, after this its just the usual stuff baiting titles from keyword pools.
use side navs to post links to popular posts (i.e. posts that are already performing well in your search results) to keep the juice flowing to these pages.
