If you are concerned with your site's security I suggest using the Secure Wordpress plugin, making sure you chmod all directories, utilize your robot.txt file to block certain directories from being indexed, and renaming your database table prefixes to something other than "wordpress" or "wp".

Hey Robert, Thanks for your suggestions and support.
