Security

Passwords
Never use the same password for more than one purpose. 
If your password is short or easy to remember, it's most probably insecure. 
Always try to include a mix of Upper and Lower case letters as well as numbers and special characters. 

Web Application Safety 
Use strong passwords and cycle your passwords regularly (every 2 - 6 weeks).
Subscribe to the application vendors' product release mailing list or whatever alert system they make available. These lists are generally are only updated when a new update is made available for the product. 
Backup and Update your application regularly! 
Review the file permissions in place for your application files. 
Don't forget to secure your database authentication data! You are most likely leaving this data within a regular text file. Make sure the file is permissioned securely and is not visible or available to anyone on the web.
