TechTraction’s Friday Finds for 07/13/07: Change Your WordPress Login Screen
Tired of the same old blue login box for your WordPress powered site? Fear not for with a little graphics work you can give your site a custom login screen. You can find the complete “how-to” instructions at David Airey’s Creative Design blog. The instructions are so simple that I won’t go into them in this post. However, to read the “how-to” and see a great example of what is possible, make sure to read David’s post. As for myself, notice the “before -after-after” image below. I changed the login screen for TechTraction and for my kid’s blog (sistersinblog.com).

Nice work, Bret.
Glad it was of use to you, and thanks for the mention.
Thanks for the positive feedback, and the inspirational post. I know my previous URL to the finished product returned a 404 error but hopefully the above combined screen shot makes up for the mistake. Thanks David.
This idea seems cool. I will also change my login page to something I like. Hmm…. I think not far from now, we can even self-customize the admin panel too!
Updating the login image was surprisingly easy. If you have even the slightest Photoshop skills I highly recommend giving it a try. Thanks for the comment.
