In Wordpress 3.1, one way to help protect a wordpress site is to place the wordpress installation files a couple of folders away from public_html, and simply place copies of in index.php and .htaccess in public_html.

That way, if you are going to example.com, the site will load up, but to get to the admin panel would require something like example.com/folder1/folder2/wp-admin.

      Changing a bunch of names everywhere is not simpler in my experience, especially when it is time to upgrade.
