WordPress 3 Ultimate Security shows you how to hack your site before someone else does. You'll uncover its weaknesses before sealing them off, securing your content and your day-to-day local-to-remote editorial process. This is more than some "10 Tips ..." guide. It's ultimate protection – because that's what you need. Survey your network, using the insight from this book to scan for and seal the holes before galvanizing the network with a rack of cool tools. Solid! The WordPress platform is only as safe as the weakest network link, administrator discipline, and your security knowledge.

With that done, your ongoing security is infinitely more manageable.

While this third party site is not a splog, you could still argue that your copyright is being infringed by a mix of factors such as that your brand is somehow damaged, there is no added public benefit, and because the blogger profits from SEO-induced traffic assisting the conversion of clicks on adverts alongside your material while compromising the marketability of your original work.

The blogger's in breach but, then again, a tweak to the facts may change your attitude.
