I checked out a few Matt Cutts' tips from his recent 50 slide presentation at Wordcamp.
This is the only thing I truly understood and could get a grasp on. Since security and WordPress are somehow mated together like Hot Dogs and mayonnaise.
Add this to your root directory of your WordPress installation:
Security tip: add .htaccess in /wp-admin
AuthUserFile /dev/null
AuthGroupFile /dev/null
AuthName "Access Control"
AuthType Basic
order deny,allow
deny from all
# whitelist home IP address
allow from 123.45.67.89
# whitelist work IP address
allow from 123.45.67.98
About installing those to your root directory that I do not understand its complicated as it is to me but thanks for breaking it down and trying to make it easier to understand for those who know about wordpress WP! What I would like to kow tho is how did you add your Friend Connect widget at the bottom of your page here Id like to add the Friends COnnect widget onto my blogs the way you have it here at thte botom of your pages. Please let me know by DM on twitter or Comment here or you can email me at lilyruth96@gmail.com this way we can always keep in contact with each other. Thanks
Thanks for dropping by lilyruth. It's a little more advanced than what i posted here but, in order to do both the things you asked you have to have access to FTP to the site you're working on. And I moved my GFC to the bottom by way of a file upload from Google as well. A bit more advanced, but you have to have access to your blogs file directories.
I will email you when I get the chance.
