 1.)
 Phrase:
 "For example if you wanted to run a command every 15 minutes regardless of
 the hour, day, or month it would look like:

 15 * * * * command"

 is incorrect. This command will runs once per hour. To run cron every 15
 minutes such cron job should be:

 */15 * * * * command

 2.)
 Offering people to use command in cron:
 wget http://YOUR_SITE_URL/wp-cron.php

 will flood system log with useless messages.
 wget in such use case should run in quiet mode as:

 wget -q -O - http://YOUR_SITE_URL/wp-cron.php >/dev/null 2>&1
