There are numerous things you can do with some common sense that will make your blog more secure.At the end of the day, though, determined hackers are usually going to get in if they really want to - their minds work in a way that finds routes around security steps that you setup.But using common sense and taking precautions will help to protect against more casual hackers and the automated hackers that are looking for blogs with loopholes.Cheers,Martin.

Basically, if you can access the log for the FTP through the service provider to that area, you can see the usernames and passwords of anyone using FTP clients.I'm not sure if this is fact of myth. I've made it a routine to change my passwords often, and do a sweep of my database for 'suspect' files.
