Thanks for adding this. It is an important update because new users are
not made aware the "admin" username has inherent problems. While it won't
prevent hacking per se it is a simple way to make it a lot harder to set
up botnet attacks. WordPress should be set up to help the new user have a
secure site and this will go a long way to ensure that happens.
