 one of the most common things after you finished your installation is to
 add a new user with admin-permissions. then you log-out, log-in again with
 your new admin-username and delete the "admin"-user to make it harder to
 hack your blog.

 i would like to suggest to let the user choose his username on
 installation, to avoid hacking (on blogs where the owner is not aware of
 this security issue) for the one side of blog owners and make life a
 little bit easier/installation and configuration a bit faster for the more
 advanced users.
