 * Hi
 * Just wondering is it possible to move the admin area to a different location.
   I have recently come under attack from hackers trying to access the admin area
   through brute force attacks. I installed a plugin to lock out the IP for a given
   time after 4 failed login attempts but I just wondered would it not be easier
   just to move the admin area to a more cryptic location? Any suggestions?
