 * Hi,
    I have had my homepage hacked 3 times in the last year. I am wandering if
   there is any additional security I can install. How do most hacks happen? Is 
   it people logging in to my wordpress site, or just hacking into FTP? I have heard
   of ‘away mode’ on wordpress, will this help if I never need to login?

 * Start with “bit51 security” plugin.
