use a different pw for everything, especially banking, paypal, ebay etc.
use caps, lower case and numbers for passwords

I had a chat with Ian about it :

next time some fucker tries that, go to his profile on steam, and copy the URL to that profile, makes it quicker to remove em from the steam group

Yep. Further to Wavy's reply you should always use as long a password as a site will allow you. The longer a password, the stronger it is regardless of complexity - http://www.infoworld.com/d/security-central/password-size-does-matter-531. I tend to go with that guys idea and I use a standard phrase followed by something site specific - makes it easy to remember.
