This way is probably better for developers building apps for public use, along with Sam's.

But, you could use it for co-blog, you just put in both people's IP. If you have more than 5 people this would be a pain in the neck. I know I have some Ajax going on this version, everything seems to work fine with changes to just wp-admin. I'll have to upgrade my test blog and see what happens to Ajax if I protect wp-admin. @Blog Strokes,

But if you make changes to the admin be sure to change the includes too, or all of the nifty new AJAX will quit working, and in the new WordPress versions, you can't really even post properly if the AJAX stops working.

My old host had Cpanel on <i>their</i> domain, so I couldn't have done it. I don't have cpanel now. (I need to install something better now that I'm working on developing this blog. The knitting blog made money but that was entirely accidental. Knitting is my hobby.) I should also say in fairness to Graywolf: I think his blog is <i>way cool</i>. But yes, I'm a bit surprised to read he got hacked this way and also reading Matt Cutts giving this advice out <i>now</i>. That exploit has existed a long time and it's easy to protect against. Or at least it's easy enough for a knitter to describe and use on her blog. :) You can use a similar trick for anything that’s hosted on your domain.
