I was asked to research and write an article on wordpress security, and was wondering what you thought about my writing style and general usefulness of content.

Sorry if this isn't quite the right forum, I looked elsewhere but it didn't fit in the other directories either.

I don't know a lot about wordpress but the content seems great to me. There are a few punctuation errors and 'firstly' isn't a real word but this may be me 'over-proofreading'. You do have 17 tweets from the article so it looks like other people have found it interesting too.

i am going to ditto that!

Good article dude. And yes you are in the right place.

One thing I would suggest is to provide links for the security plugins. Don't make your readers have to Google to find them.

And, probably should move Picking Plugins and Themes Wisely to the top of list. This is probably the number one security hole for WordPress -- above all others. You can reference this WPMU articles for scary revelations:

Why you should never search for free themes

Let me check your article. It is good for sure. If you are a blogger for a year then you already know what to do.

I read your article and I can say you that it is really useful for bloggers. I also have WordPress blog and I know that all your tips very important.

Though I thought most of these tips are not necessary for my blog, I still want to bookmark it, who knows, my blog might be pop up someday.

Great article, I'm glad I decided to read it. I particularly found the protection of my wp-includes helpful cause they were definitely out there for anybody. It may have made me a little more paranoid than I need to be about my Wordpress accounts but better safe than sorry I guess.
