Here’s an interesting article/document on setting up a “secure” WordPress installation. It has some nice tips & tricks. I’ve not yet implemented any of them into my own, but I may soon. Try them out and maybe let me know how it goes?

WordPress 2.3.1 Release Candidate 1 has been released, time to upgrade!
WordPress 2.3.1 is almost ready to go. Before we send it out the door, we’re making a release candidate available so everyone can give it a last look.
2.3.1 fixes over twenty bugs. Some of the notable fixes are:
- Tagging support for Windows Live Writer
- A login bug that affected those with a Blog Address different than
their WordPress Address is fixed- Faster taxonomy database queries, especially tag intersection queries
- Link importer fixes
More details will be provided in the final release announcement. Until then, download RC1 and let us know if it fixes a particular bug in 2.3 that was annoying you. If you find that something has broken since 2.3, please open a ticket so we can address the problem before the final 2.3.1 release.
Been a while since I last posted anything on here… figured I’d make a post about WordPress’ latest Beta - 2.3.1 Beta 1.
Over twenty bugs are fixed in 2.3.1. Get the full list here. Here are some highlights.
- Tagging support for Windows Live Writer
- A login bug that affected those with a Blog Address different than
their WordPress Address is fixed- Faster taxonomy database queries, especially tag intersection queries
- Link importer fixes
Just upgraded my blog, no problems so far. 
I don’t know how many actually read and/or subscribe to my blog, but…
I found out yesterday that my mother has Stage III Pancreatic Cancer. It is the 3rd or 4th most deadly cancer; and it’s the worst of all cancers on survival rate.
I’m mainly making this post to get things off my chest, but I’d also like to ask that any of you reading this.. please, please keep my mother in your prayers; you don’t even know how much I’d appreciate it, and how much it’d help.
Also, if any of you reading this have gone through something similar, I’d appreciate any information on this cancer you could give me. I’ve already gotten information on CTCA, PanCan, and org’s like that; but anything you think is helpful, please let me know. Every little bit helps.
Thank you in advance.
