Guess what? The New Macbook Pros Might Be Coming Soon After All
My infatuation about the new Macbook Air is not ending just yet. In fact, the ComputerWorld blog has news — hopefully insider scoop — about what I’m dreaming about. Author Seth Weintraub says that the reason for the Macbook Pro delay (that is, why they weren’t announced last week at MacWorld) was part of an Intel shortage of Penryn processors. According to sources, these processors, which are extremely fast and aren’t as hot as their predecessors, won’t be available until February. Which gives you more time to dream and get pumped, because there are more goodies on the table. The…

Is it the Features?
What features does a theme have to have to be considered premium? What are you looking for that will immediately tell a premium theme apart from a non-premium theme?
Is it the Design?
Are premium themes designed any differently than their non-premium counterparts? What design elements does a premium theme have that others don’t?
Is it the Support?

Or Something Else…
Please weigh in on what you feel makes a WordPress theme premium.

Matt Cutts has published an article which highlights three different ways to secure your WordPress installation. The first tip involves locking down your Admin directory. Matt configures his .hatccess file so that only his IP address is allowed to access the WP-Admin directory. For the second tip, you should create a blank index.html file to place into your wp-content/plugins directory. Not doing so allows your plugin folder to be wide open, giving nosy people an idea as to what plugins you have installed.
Matt’s third and final tip involves subscribing to the official WordPress development blog - http://wordpress.org/development/feed/ As we should all know by now, this is the best way to stay up to date.
Matt also offers a bonus tip where he suggest removing the line of code within your header.php file that publishes your WordPress version.
All of these are excellent tips. But what do you do to secure your WordPress installation?

The common thread is that there is a need for better information classification, and a…
