In reply to: How are the Passwords handled?Gangleri – WordPress does not store the admin password in wp-config.php. It is the database username and password that is being stored there. 99% chance is that your MySQL server would not allow connections from foreign hosts, thus, the person getting the password with Google Code can no nothing with it.
eb001, the password security in WordPress is pretty secure and similar to all the popular applications on the Internet right now, i.e (vBulletin, Joomla).
You can increase security by Admin SSL, as Gangleri suggested. You might also enable .htaccess protection for your wp-admin folder, that way, you have 2 layers of security before anyone can touch your admin panel π
Good luck.
added: WordPress uses MD5 hash, as does most of the Web Apps out there right now

In reply to: Static frontpage with excerpts of blog at the side?Yes – I cannot think of a reason why it might not work.
Go ahead and set the Options in your blog and pull the sidebar widget (of the plugin) and try it out.

<?php if (is_home()) { query_posts("cat=-1,-2,-3"); } ?>is_home = checks if it is your home page
query_posts = searches the database for the given parametres. which is to exclude categories, 1,2,3

In reply to: cannot login after changing passwordDo you have access to the MySQL database via PhpMyAdmin or some similar tool ?
You could find the field that stores the password.
One you have done that – you should go here and ECRYPT a password.
Then, put the encrypted value in the password field in the database.
Should be done that way. If you are a little new on that side maybe I could help over.

In reply to: Transfer Problems – possibly due to DB EncodingIndeed Moshu.
I just got notified about it. It was a unclosed tag. Happens everytime – when someone posts a youtube video in there – and then someone edits it.
I end up removing the remaining youtube embed code, and replace it. Works easily.
Thanks for noticing that though.

In reply to: Transfer Problems – possibly due to DB EncodingYes master Moshu : ) I have multiple backup copies of it all.
It is a production site, the link posted in the first post. I do nothing on the production site.
All work is done in either my localhost or on other hosts
