Thanks, great tips. I didn't think about suppressing php error messages (item 9 ), which I think is a very good idea.

Hi Sean.
This really is a list of very interesting tips - some of which I have already implemented, although I'll be using your check list as a reference point for the future.
Great work!
Now all I have to do is to learn how to set up effective .htaccess files!
All the best,
Alex

#3, 4 and 5 are quite effective, IMHO. And #3 even the non IT savvy blogger can do.
#5 might look like overkill, but it is not, definitely not. I have seen other systems hacked because of brute force attacks on application internal database tables, which could have had no password if the user clicked "Next" too quickly during the installation.
Implementing the tips listed here will go a long way in protecting your blog.
