Do you still use the default admin account that is created when you install Wordpress? DON’T!! The first step to securing your website from those malicious people out there who want to destroy all your hard work, is to not use the admin account to administer your website.

In this post I’ll talk about some of the things that Brad Williams mentioned in his presentation at Wordcamp Boston this past weekend. He made some really good points, and even shared some examples from personal experiences he has had. Learn how to protect your site a little more.

Ever wanted to customize your Wordpress Dashboard so you or your clients had an admin area that matched your site and brand? It’s really not that difficult to do, all you need is a little coding knowledge and the ability to access and edit the functions.php template of your theme.

As I write this, and try to finish the theme for this website so it can go live as soon as possible, I’m thinking back to earlier today (yesterday now since it’s 3am) about what a great time it was even as a volunteer. Wordcamp Boston at the Microsoft N.E.R.D. Center in Cambridge, Ma. was awesome.
