Or I could ditch WordPress and start using Rapidweaver…….which Is what I have done! I don’t know where the problem has come from so I have just started again but have retained the old content. Thanks Jodi for your comments but I have now deleted the WP website, although I still use it for my own blog.

Assuming you are using a standard WordPress install, the two best things you can do are:

a) create a folder with an unusual name on your server to hold your WordPress files, including the admin login page. Don’t use /wordpress or keep them in the root directory as these are the most common places hackers will look.

b) completely neuter the default admin account. Create a new account for yourself, if you haven’t already, and give it full administration privileges, then remove all privileges from the Admin account. Again this is a fairly common target for hackers (since every WordPress install must have an admin account) but by neutering it you can ensure than even if a hacker does get into your site, they can’t do anything.

Hopefully that’s of some use.

Ah yes but I started off at a different school before I learned arithmetic with you & Mrs Bruce Jim!

That’s very cool. However, I can absolutely confirm that slates were not used, though coloured sticks were.

Aha!! so THAT’s how you’re supposed to use the rower? Thanks for that. I’ve been gymming for a year now (tho’ the fact that I was 60+ when I first went is a bit of a giveaway) but had a few weeks off to enjoy wine and chocolate in lesser moderation, and only made it back on Monday – yes lots of sprightly brightly lasses, but it’s the pimply lads taking it in turns to do half a dozen reps on one chest pull while the other rests on the adjoining one!
(I came to this vis 6S which I’ve just joined – that might not be so disciplined as the gym)

Hi Phyllis! I’m a stranger just reading your article on “Career path” @ Technorati, getting a master in journalism, etc, etc, I love it! Good luck and all the best for walking a new path! =) It is always good indeed to try new challenges.
