Wordpress

I need to implement a blog into a clients site as he is unhappy with his current basic CMS driven solution.

It needs to suit both seo and the current style and as I'm a front end dev/designer and they don't have budget to redevelop - the only solution I can think of is to setup a Wordpress blog and restyle to suit.

My only worry about this is the current press reports on WordPress being affected by webbots.

I understand the main worry Is if you use an id of admin, but I'm concerned that regardless of this the site could be bombarded with bot requests and cause timeouts! Is this valid? If so is there any way to avoid this issue!?

If not can anyone recommend another good SEO friendly blog solution!?
