---- How to Secure Wordpress Sites

Hmmm . . I get the impression that the suggestion to secure WP by renaming files may spawm it's own problems.

Someone please beat me about the head (verbally, only, please) to convince me that renaming files is definitely the way to go.

Might it be a case where renaming only "a few specific highly targeted files" would have a deterrent effect? (Do the "known programs and/or practices" look for "all files" or do they default to looking for certain primary "WP files"?)

Lastly, limiting access to a designated IP address wouldn't work for most of us since most of us don't have dedicated IP addresses, right?
