Hi folks, this is a tip. In every directory that doesn\'t contain an index file, place a blank text file and name it index.htm. I do this on all my themes and geeklog directories and I highly suggest you do it as well.
This will prevent snooping, even if it\'s only an images directory. Also, concerning the recent discovery of how many folks left their install.php alone, if you renamed your install file to muahahayoullneverguessthenameofmyinstall.php, it\'s not gonna do any good if someone visits http://yoursite.com/admin/install/. If you\'re gonna rename it, try a .txt extension or something. Enjoy. :)
