Blog security is a serious question. That is why today many bloggers join the online discussion about better way to make a blog more hacker proof.
As blogs have become a serious power not just for blogging for cash or hobby, but also for Internet marketing in general - the attention of hack minded people to the blogs has naturally increased as well. They are sniffing around to find any possible door inside the blog platform to access the admin area. Some can do that as game, others as business - but this is still a big pain for every average WordPress blog or Blogger or any other blog platform owners. They do their best to send you patches to fix the security issue, but sometimes hackers can just have a better luck.
In the most recent times, the idea of limiting access to the blog is circling the minds of bloggers. It is really better and easier just to give special or secure blog access to a number of highly trusted people (your blog admins or trusted blog authors). The attempts to access the blog admin area from any other IPs would be blocked.
This means the readers and visitors of your blog will not have any problems with reading blog materials. And you enjoy maximum security - because even if a hacker gets through a hole, the access for admin area to him will be cut off by default.
