 * Sharedaddy makes securing wp-admin (with additional http basic password) slightly
   more difficult than expected. We find that the plugin refers to [http://wordpress.site/wp-admin/images/loading.gif](http://wordpress.site/wp-admin/images/loading.gif)
   and all pages, and thus users see login dialog on all pages. Curiously, this 
   does not occur on all browsers (Firefox 3.6.11 on OSX does ask the password, 
   but Firefox 3.6.10 on Linux does not).
 * Loading.gif should be loaded from the plugin folder or any other folder than 
   wp-admin.
