Updating wordpress to new version when it comes out is must.
Hiding your version info which shows in source page is a good thing which I found out a few months ago.

But putting a bank index in plugin folder that’s a new idea for me. The point is there and I thought about this some time ago but never got around it.

Thanks for listing them together.

Great advice. This is good practice for anything done over the internet. I compare it to buying insurance. Don’t take chances and get caught without any.

with so many hacks and viruses out there, especially in the blogosphere, this stuff becomes quite useful, so thanks.

Hmm. I didn’t realize that security was a problem for bloggers. Uh oh. I just started blogging fairly recently, so I’m hoping it isn’t something I need to worry about.

Exactly what sort of security problems do bloggers normally have?

I actually had this happen- had my blog up and leave me. Turned out to be hard drive failure on the part of my provider (backups? hah!), so I lost a lot of work.
That’s why I now back up religiously. And, of course, I changed providers!

I’m so bad at not backing up my blog. I really should do it. Does the lockdown thing work with all blogs? Or is it just Wordpress? I presume it’s all… But I’m not brilliant with technology!
