 * Post on jobs.wordpress.net if you’re not capable. You’ll need to hire someone.

 * Iv actually done everything and everything seems to work still. Getting all users
   to change their password now. In the mean time i am unsure of what file permission
   each file/folder should have. I have config set to 750, the rest are 755.

 * Ok, i have everything as it says now. I have also now moved to a dedicated server
   with SSL and SSH. This should help secure everything a bit more!
