This is not something new but for those of you out there, who like to customise and personalise just about everything you have – especially when it comes to blogs and especially if yours happens to be a wordpress platform. Then you are going to love this little plugin. This plugin allows you to personalise your own wordpress login page.
This is a before and after shot of my own login page.
Not too shabby, eh? The image before is what your wordpress login page would look like with WordPress 2.6 and above. The one after it is the one I have made base on the template given with the plugin download. The plugin is called Binary Moon Custom Login Plugin.
What you need to do to get this effect going on for ya. Is to first download the plugin above.
Designing your new layout.
You need to create two images. One is the login-bkg-tile.gif and login-bkg-bottom.gif or save them as jpegs. Whatever suits your fancy. These two images will make up the look of the wordpress login. You’ll find what you need in the template folder.
Once you have designed your new layout, save them into the folder wp-content/plugins/bm-custom-login/images. Make sure you save them exactly as these two names login-bkg-tile.gif and login-bkg-bottom.gif.
Activate the wordpress plugin and wa la! You’re done and you have a brand new WordPress Login to stare at hehe. Honestly no one else will see it unless you are sharing your blog or you have multiple writers. But it’s great to have it for some kicks.
If you don’t really have an idea for your design, you can also head on to the bm-custom-login flickr group.
You can read the original post here at Binarymoon or just go on straight and download the plugin.
