It’s been a little while since I’ve installed the Limit Login Attempts plug-in that I’ve reviewed here and so far, it’s worked as advertised. Since May 15th, I’ve had 11 failed attempts to log into the back-end of WPTavern.com. Three of those occurred on July 24th. 10 out of 11 attempts used admin as the user-name while one attempt used a blank user-name field.
I think everyone should have this plug-in installed on their site or something like it. It’s pretty important to be notified of an IP address trying to crack the password into the back-end of your site although I find it odd that I have yet to see a user-name deviate from admin which leads me to believe that the attempts have been made by bots, or some type of automated script.

PollDaddy has introduced a new feature today that enables users to share the results of their survey with other people without giving complete access to their account. Survey reports are password protected and you can set exactly which parts the sharer can view. This feature is only available to Pro and Corporate account holders. More info on how to utilize this feature can be found here.
I’d like to see something like this for Woopra. Right now, the only way you can share statistics with someone is if they have a registered account with Woopra.com and you give that account access to see your stats. Instead, I’d like to create a private URL that expires in a given amount of time to someone interested in detailed stats. Something like what PollDaddy has introduced would be a good time saver and not require the person I want to share stats with to have an account with Woopra.com
