How Hard is Your WordPress?
Jeffro2pt0’s post at WebLog Tools Collection tipped me off to Speckyboy’s list of Top 10 Security Plugins for WordPress. There’s a lot of good plugins listed, and I was happy to see WP-SpamFree made it on the list.
I’ve been using WP-SpamFree since about the second week of this blog, and it’s been amazing. I don’t know anyone blogs without it. I use quite a few security plugins myself, but I won’t say what, since that might decrease my security 
From the same post, Jeffro2pt0 also points us to the WordPress Codex article on Hardening your WordPress.
In a separate post, at Weblog Tools Collection, Marc Ghosh linked to a post at Scripty Goddess entitled “Fun Tools That Will Eat Up the Spare Time You Don’t Have.” Her recommendations:
Stripe Generator, which is an AJAX background designer will give your website that oh-so-sexy Web 2.0 look. Looking at their blog, I came across a post announcing two companion generators - Reflection Maker, and Tab Generator. Three awesome tools to take some of the grunt work out of website design.
WordPress Theme Generator, which does exactly what it says, for those who are mystified by the intricacies of building WordPress Themes.
WordPress Pad has an article on turning your WordPress Install into a Directory with the WordPress Directory Plugin from Links Back.
Miscellaneous
I read an article on Live Science about why hot women marry ugly guys, and it’s not just about the money - which came as quite a shock to me.
For a laugh, read this comment on the story Why Linux Won’t Displace Windows. I can’t tell if it’s satire, or the guy is serious, but I laughed until I cried. It’s people like this that remind me why I got out of computer related customer service.
