 * Question:
    Is htpasswd safe enough to protect wp-admin? And do htpasswd work 
   well with WordPress perhaps it will limit the possability for some of the wordpress
   files to access the files contained in the wp-admin folder also?

 * so far so good when I changed all the occurences of wp-login.php to some custom
   name I chosed.. Ofc there can bee bugs in the future so that ‘s why the community
   of developers really should make it possible to change these 2 things in the 
   confiq file: WP-LOGIN.PHP and wp-admin folder name.. and possibly more security
   holes I don’t know about. WordPress is getting hacked to mutch, I only have installed
   ca 7 public installations of wordpress! And still 1 of them got hacked. My friend
   has also installed circa that amount of installations he got all of them hacked.
   SO THIS IS CRITICAL FOR THE FUTURE OF WORDPRESS. Spiders shouldn’t find the admin
   log-in section so easily..

 * *bolder=folder
 * And I saw that this solution isn’t so good cause when surfing to wp-admin you
   are redirected to wp-login.php so You have to rename that file also.. But I think
   with grepwin you can change all the instanced where that filename occur also..
   I’ll try it..
 * So TO DO for the developer community A WAY TO EASILY CHANGE THE WP-ADMIN FOLDER
   AND THE WP-LOGIN.PHP DYNAMICALLY.
