So do I Steven. It was a timely reminder for myself, so I hope some other WordPressarians also put your tips to good use. Thanks for the great advice.

[...] Well not a lot new for this past week. I have been reading and researching a lot about blog hackers this past week. I didn’t know about some of the ways they can get into your blog. I also thought that you would know if your blog had been hacked. But that is not necessarily true. Sometimes they just get in and add a lot of keywords and such to your footer or other parts of your blog and you never know it unless you have some means of detecting their presence. I have bought some software to make my blogs less prone to hacker getting in. I haven’t had a chance to try it yet, but I will in the next few days. In my research I found some very good tips and some blogs and post with good tips. Here are some great WordPress security tips that I found that are simple, effective and DEFINITELY worthwhile employing.
