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.

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.

Some tips are slightly more advanced in their implementation, but everyone will find something in here to make your website somewhat more secure.
