 * Hi,
 * We are wondering if your plugin uses XMLRPC.PHP ? I ask because we have been 
   advised to block this in our .htaccess file with this code:
 * <Files xmlrpc.php>
    order deny,allow deny from all </Files>
 * If we do this, will it cause any issues with your plugin? We have been advised
   that this is a good thing to do for security.
 * Regards,
    Harold
