Re: "I do not know php at all which is the language WordPress is written in. I do not agree with Judy that wp is easily hacked." I spent a few months (trying) to learn PHP. Never attained sufficient proficiency, but remember some basics. PHP is a server-side scripting language which works with MySQL databases; PHP scripts run completely on the remote host computers. PHP takes input from a user, runs it through a script and delivers output in the form of a Web page &/or database update. That's in contrast to javascript, a client-side scripting language. With javascript, the script is downloaded to the user, along with any data other than user input. All processing takes place on the user's system. PHP is considered more secure because the scripts and server-stored data aren't seen by the user system. Only the script results appear on the user system. My most serious criticism is an impression that pages delivered by PHP lack good styling. WordPress seems to have found a way to overcome most of that. As to being hacked, news stories tell us anything accessible by Internet can be hacked. It's just a question of the hackers' motivation and how easy we make it. The primary defense against hacking is a secure password, closely guarded. Choose passwords that are hard to guess and NEVER, EVER publicly disclose them. (For example, don't give out a password on this or any other mailing list.) -rt_/)
