 * Just curious; is there anything I need to chmod or delete once I have WP installed?
   I couldn’t find an answer to this in a search. Every PHP-based CMS and/or forum
   software I’ve installed has required you to chmod something or delete something
   for post-install security.

 * Bump…anyone? I can’t believe it’s a secure install the way it is.

 * There’s really nothing you absolutely *need* to remove, but I list some you can
   do without (depending on your needs) here:
