For blogging yes wordpress is the best, but you really need to have it hosted away from the wordpress site and onto your own, then you can add more bells and whistles. But for ecommerce then Joomla anyday.

I agree with you about people leaving the default logins. On my Joomla sites I have a programme that traps all the attempts to log in via the admin and the amount of idiots who think I have left the login as admin or password or 1234567 etc which of course I haven't. yet they still try, because so many people do do exactly that. On one day alone I have over 5,000 attempt to hack the site, yep I did say over 5,000 and nearly all of the 5k were a variation of admin, password, 123456 etc no imagination used at all on anything else. I have since changed the setting so that after 3 attempt they are totally blocked.
we have WordFence on our WP/Woo site stopping a lot of bad stuff, but we also found a lot of seemingly good plugins come complete with viruses, trojans, back door scripts etc in them, which a windows based virus checker doesn't spot. if you load straight into wp they get in, but if we ftp them onto the server (in a protected folder) we can use the server based virus checker to clean them up.
Good advice there Tim,..Is there anyone using a product designer plugin any of your sites?we have WordFence on our WP/Woo site stopping a lot of bad stuff, but we also found a lot of seemingly good plugins come complete with viruses, trojans, back door scripts etc in them, which a windows based virus checker doesn't spot. if you load straight into wp they get in, but if we ftp them onto the server (in a protected folder) we can use the server based virus checker to clean them up.
