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.

You can find them at: http://www.dawnprofies.com/news/wordpress-security-tips

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

1. Steven Sanders with 7 WordPress Security Tips

2. Matt Cutts on WordPress Security

3. Skull Bits’ “Stealth Login” Plugin for WordPress

4. Semper Fi Web Design’s WP Security Scan Plug In

This is a subject that needs a lot of attention and I will probably cover it some more later.
