Setup as a New Sharepoint if you can. Try to always edit with the broswer if you can. Modding pages with other authoring tools may cause the built in editing tools to no longer work.
Do not mod custom views,but you can set background and layout from Front Page.
Backup your SQL often.
Use NT authentication when Possible
