Nice feature of WP 3.0 is Admin doesn't have to be Admin anymore - change the Admin Login to some other name and improve your security by a magnitude.

Protecting Wordpress admin is just one small step.
There are more hacks on host than on the wordpress admin.
Protecting web hosting is more importat as well.
What I do is I block all open ports such as ftp etc. I use SSH (with Auth key) on different port. All IPs are also blocked except few from which I access host.
And so on...
Above steps are for dedicated servers or the servers which you have full control.
For shared hosting you have no option than just protecting WP admin.

That's a good tip. Add to that, having a backup so you can restore your site if it is hacked, as there are so many ways to exploit popular platforms like WordPress, Joomla etc. searchenginefriendlyhosting com DO allow you to add your own custom .htaccess files, php.ini and have one click backup.

What about Blogger? I guess the long and complicated password is the best way of protecting an account.

@adrianTNT To do what Mattr has suggested regarding IP's, you'll need a static IP, otherwise each time you connect to the internet it'll be different, therefore blocking you from your admin directory! ;)
-
Very good tips, I also run a full weekly backup of all my databases, files and directories! ;)

Well, yeah ok. What about the SLQ injections? I had a friend that was doing remote SQL queries without having any admin access. He said that was a server hack (had to deal with the Apache server) not a script hack.So:
Duble ckeck your Server settings! Upgrade your server software as well.
Another good way is to protect your file and folder permissions.
