Starting today, Security around some aspects of our server were stepped up. These were just things that Red never really got around to, and now he's taken care of it. Just F.Y.I. As for elaborating on what we've done... well, I wouldn't be a good admin if I revealed what we did to our security.

Yep, and there's more modifications to do to it, but it's pretty much done.
Another update for today, I just programmed and installed a script in the article section, and on the home page, which simply reads a file with the article info - instead of having to type it up each time on the home page and in the article section.
I'm not getting lazy, I'm just getting to a point where I like making things easier. 
The only thing I'm scared is if ever for some reason our server get's shut down - no php - this site don't work.
But I think in the long run it's not something to worry about. Google indexing is the main issue to worry about with these scripts, they don't quite like .php? in links - but I seen some sites still get spidered, so we should be ok for that. 
By the way if anyone wants to write a tech article just write it in plain html or text and I can add it in, the scripts take care of everything else (site layout etc).
