Apart from checking your WP security settings and backing up files, I think it is also necessary to look ever your plugins.

I always update my Wordpress. One more thing I will do is don't use the admin as username, I will create my own username and use complex password.

I especially like your tip on Put A Blank index.html In /plugins/ Directory...I never would've thought about that myself in that some of the plugins that are installed aren't safe. You've opened my eyes on how to make WordPress more secure. Thank you.

Thanks for this great post. I had heard of a few of these including the logical ones of keeping your WP up to date and such, but hadn't heard of dropping the version string in your Header.php file. I'll have to go back and make sure to do that on all of my sites right away. Thanks for the tip!

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.

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!
